Description
Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and one whose treatment requires good patient self-management. Although atrial fibrillation itself usually isn’t life-threatening, it sometimes requires emergency treatment.
This Atrial Fibrillation Stoplight tool is designed to help patients understand when symptoms require physician intervention and when symptoms are severe enough to call 911. Based on the zones of management principles, Stoplight tools divide various signs and symptoms into green, yellow, and red management zones. Green indicates good control, yellow indicates caution and gives specific steps for action, and red indicates a medical crisis that requires calling 911.
This Atrial Fibrillation Stoplight Tool is based on the recommended ACC/AHA standards of care. Prevent hospitalization of your Atrial Fibrillation patients with this important stoplight tool. It can be customized with your agency’s name and contact information. Available in English and Spanish. 50 sheets per pad
