Shownotes Transcript

Lets talk about the approach to the patient that presents to the hospital with altered mental status. 

This is a very common presentation that I see often - whether I'm in the emergency room, step down, or ICU.

The etiologies can be endless. But, the goal after today's podcast, is to arm you with an algorithm to narrow in on that etiology. 

Enjoy!
