ABSTRACT
Emergency situations such as peri-arrest, cardiac arrest and shock require prompt recognition and action to prevent significant morbidity or indeed mortality. As a junior doctor, you may well be the first person on the scene in an inpatient setting and are expected to help resuscitate and stabilise the patient, as part of a multidisciplinary team. This is the time to put your emergency care training into practice; do not hesitate to participate, your contribution is invaluable.
