Effective Communication in High-Stress Situations

Keeping Calm and Communicating

Clear, concise communication is essential in critical care, especially during emergencies.

Communication Strategies

  • Use closed-loop communication: repeat back instructions to confirm.
  • Speak assertively but respectfully.
  • Always clarify unclear orders.

Application

Great communication can prevent errors and save lives, particularly when everyone is under pressure.

Examples

  • Confirming medication orders with the physician in a noisy ICU.

  • Delegating tasks during a code blue to ensure nothing is missed.
