  • Title: Critical incident stress debriefing in health care.
    Author: Freehill KM.
    Journal: Crit Care Clin; 1992 Jul; 8(3):491-500. PubMed ID: 1638437.
    Abstract:
    Transport team professionals have unique responsibilities and are exposed to powerful demands. They cannot avoid incidents that pose personal threats to their own emotional well being. Contact with dead or severely ill or injured children, for example, can be detrimental to the caregiver. Discussions called debriefings held after these critical incidents can decrease acute and delayed stress reactions.
