Abstract
Advanced practitioners (APs) in hematology and oncology work in various practice settings. Many of us are well trained to diagnose and manage common oncologic emergencies, such as acute renal failure, severe anemia, hypercalcemia of malignancy, and sepsis. There is security in managing these acute conditions in a hospital setting with immediate access to a health-care team. Alternately, when providing care to individuals outside of the hospital setting, one must manage an unfamiliar clinical scenario in a foreign environment with limited resources. One of the articles in this issue addresses a common oncologic emergency, and it made me think about my experiences managing emergencies in a hospital setting, as well as one instance that occurred on a commercial aircraft.
