SO, YOU THINK YOU ARE A RESUSCITATIONIST...? (Victoria Brazil – @SocraticEM)

Every one needs to do reality check Brazil felt first like a resuscitationist about 20 years ago at a road accident = combination of CPR + fluids?

• COMMENT:
  • So then another question could be what is a DE-resuscitationist?
  • After initial resuscitation one needs to stop at some point…

Question yourself: are you good enough
Dunning-Kruger effect versus imposter syndrome
Difference between Perception or thus what is perceived and reality

• Eg time to intubation think 23 reality 49 sec = dunning-kruger effect

You need feedback + conversation = missing link
Tragedy + opportunity
Art of performance improvement

We are pretty good at assessing other people, but…
Giving feedback = hard

1. be honest
2. do it often
3. we need to be experts at getting and extracting feedback: combination of art + science

• 1 objective benefit from meditation
• how much of our life is cause and effect

Break the immediate connection => then you have the choice how to respond to a certain stimulus

1. Mindfulness meditation
   1. = paying attention to your state of mind
   2. not judgementally

      2. Against negative emotions
      3. Negative visualisation: imagine your son lays dead in your arms 1 second a day (not during hours) => you are more happy with what you have
      4. It can always get worse so be happy
      5. Don’t take everything for granted
      6. = a mental reset every day to realise all your loved ones are still there
