This manual provides junior healthcare workers with a simple structured approach which can be used to assist them in the early recognition of the deteriorating patient. It also provides a format for approaching the unwell patient which prioritises identifying and correcting immediately life-threatening problems.

The Vortex approach is unique in its simplicity, flexibility, team-oriented emphasis and the fact that it is directed not only at anaesthetists but all critical care specialities involved in airway management (anaesthesia, emergency medicine & intensive care) across multiple disciplines including clinicians from medical, nursing & paramedical backgrounds.
