ABCDE Assessment
Patient cardiac monitor

An A-E, or ABCDE, assessment is a method of assessing and stabilising a patient in a stepwise approach - in order of priority of the things that will cause the most harm. You can perform an A-E assessment on any unwell or deteriorating patient to help you ascertain what’s going on.

Chorus will be singing for the climate!

We've joined the fantastic 'Sing The Change' initiative by 'Music Declares Emergency' and will be singing 'What a Wonderful World' to send a message to the world during COP26 - the UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow.

Cardiac Arrest Overview
LifePak 15 Monitor Defibrillator being charged.

It's important for all healthcare workers to have an understanding of how to identify a patient that is in cardiac arrest, or at risk of imminent cardiac arrest, using the A-E assessment approach. You should then be able to call for support from the cardiac arrest team and perform CPR to begin resuscitation of a patient while waiting for help to arrive.

The Reversible Causes of Cardiac Arrest

Cardiac arrest is a sudden irregularity/loss of heart function, resulting in a loss of cardiac output. This requires resuscitation by following the Advanced Life Support Algorithm. You can learn more about resuscitation, including chest compressions, airway management, rhythm recognition and defibrillation in our Cardiac Arrest article.

Chorus is back!

Good news for all singing lovers: the Leicester University Chorus is back! After a really hard year and a half due to the pandemic, we have joined forces to get Chorus back up and running, and we are really excited to share it with you all!
