🔴 Tunnel Vision 🔴 We talk about tunnel vision in medicine all the time. It is why two brains are better than one. If I have been sitting in the same OR for hours, I could miss something. If I hear the same alarms going off in the ICU, I could miss something. If I attempt the same airway adjuncts over and over during a difficult airway, I could miss something. Remember to never attempt the same intervention over and over, try something different, call for an extra set of hands or eyes, stay vigilant because even a small change could save a life. #medicalmalpractice #medicalmalpracticeattorney #nursesonlinkedin #nurses #crna #legalnurseconsultant #legalnurse
