Cliff Reid – The Zero Point Survey


Listen Later

Cliff, based in Australia, talks us through the zero-point survey, why it is important and how we use it for the emergency setting.

Top 3 Points from this podcast:
  • There are multiple opportunities to optimise how a prehospital mission goes that present themselves long before you set eyes on the patient(s).
  • No matter how good you are (or think you are), it’s the output of the TEAM that ultimately determines patient outcome.
  • Effective scene management / environmental control is the key determining factor between expert and non-expert prehospital care.
