Too Rare to Be Ready? HALO Events, Stress, and Clinical Leadership
This session explores how human factors failures, particularly during high-acuity, low-occurrence (HALO) events like out-of-hospital newborn life support, impact paramedic performance and patient outcomes. It examines the role of stress, communication breakdowns, and reduced situational awareness in clinical decision-making. Drawing from current literature and frontline insights, the talk advocates for targeted human factors education and strategies to support clinicians in high-pressure, emotionally charged scenarios.
