Postoperative Floor Rounds

Postoperative deaths come from the lungs, the clot, the bleed, the wound and the missed delirium. In Name it, read the presentation, say what it is, then choose the first action — the second half is where the marks are. In Escalate it, sort the facts of a real call into S, B, A and R and find out whether your report would actually bring a provider to the bedside.
Step 1 — what is this?
Step 2 — what do you do first?

0210. You are calling the surgeon about Mrs Okonkwo in 512.

Sort every line below into Situation, Background, Assessment or Recommendation — or mark it Cut if it does not belong in a 0210 phone call at all.
