Episode notes
Ask Why with Homeless Patients
- Always ask "why" when caring for hospitalized homeless patients to uncover root causes and needs.
- Address issues like nutrition, mobility, and behavioral outbursts to improve care and outcomes.
Early Cholecystectomy Prevents Readmission
- Delayed cholecystectomy after biliary pancreatitis leads to 18% readmission for recurrent events.
- Performing cholecystectomy during initial admission prevents these readmissions effectively.
Manage Delirium Using TA-DA
- Think of acute delirium as acute organ dysfunction requiring urgent management.
- Use the TA-DA mnemonic: Tolerate triggers, Anticipate risk, Don't Agitate to guide care.
