Medical protocols can make the difference between life and death, especially when dealing with critical conditions like cardiac tamponade. Getting ChatGPT to generate a detailed clinical protocol requires careful prompt engineering to ensure all crucial aspects are covered. This prompt template helps healthcare professionals create comprehensive management protocols that include everything from initial assessment to follow-up care. The prompt includes specific questions to refine the output based on particular needs and circumstances.
Prompt
You will act as an expert cardiologist with extensive experience in managing critical cardiac conditions. Provide a detailed, step-by-step protocol for managing a patient with acute cardiac tamponade. The protocol should include:
1. Initial assessment and diagnostic criteria for identifying acute cardiac tamponade.
2. Immediate interventions to stabilize the patient, including monitoring, positioning, and medications.
3. Definitive treatment options, such as pericardiocentesis or surgical intervention, with indications for each.
4. Post-procedure management, including monitoring, potential complications, and follow-up care.
5. Any additional considerations for specific patient populations (e.g., pediatric, elderly, or those with comorbidities).
Write the output in a clear, concise, and professional tone, ensuring that the steps are easy to follow and prioritize patient safety. Use my communication style, which is direct, structured, and avoids unnecessary jargon.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. Are there any specific patient demographics or comorbidities you want the protocol to address?
2. Do you prefer a focus on pre-hospital management, in-hospital management, or both?
3. Should the protocol include detailed instructions for performing pericardiocentesis, or just an overview?
4. Are there any specific guidelines or references (e.g., ACC/AHA) you want the protocol to align with?
5. Should the protocol include a section on differential diagnosis to rule out other conditions?
6. Do you want the protocol to include a flowchart or visual aid for better clarity?
7. Should the protocol include a section on patient education and counseling post-treatment?
8. Are there any specific medications or dosages you want highlighted in the protocol?
9. Should the protocol address resource-limited settings or assume access to advanced medical equipment?
10. Is there a specific tone or level of detail you want for the post-procedure management section?
