Ep216 Pneumonic AEIOU-TIPS

The patient is confused, behaving differently, or has become unconscious. There are no obvious injuries, no clear explanation, and you need to start thinking about what could be causing their altered mental state.

In this episode, you’ll learn how the AEIOU-TIPS mnemonic helps first aiders and pre-hospital clinicians identify possible causes of altered conscious states. You’ll discover how this simple memory aid can prompt you to consider medical, traumatic, environmental, and neurological causes when assessing an unwell patient.
