The following terms apply to the use and distribution of the Emergency Manual. By downloading or using this material, you agree to the statements below.
Use Disclaimer
Use Disclaimer: The material in this Manual is not intended to be a substitute for sound medical knowledge and training. Clinicians should always use their clinical judgment and decision making for patient management. Departure from the information presented here is encouraged as appropriate, since situations can vary widely. We use generic medication names whenever possible and include some brand names, which might be better known to clinicians, to support effective use during crises. To reduce potentially distracting visual clutter, TM superscripts have not been included with brand name medications in the cognitive aids. Enabling clinical uses during crises requires systematic implementation efforts beyond simply hanging emergency manuals (EM) in operating rooms, as EMs can be forgotten when under stress. Use the resources on the previous page to efficiently and effectively integrate EMs into your practice.
