Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
In the critical care environment, individuals who undergo tracheostomy are highly susceptible to tracheostomy-related pressure injuries. Medical devices account for approximately 30% of all pressure injuries, and an estimated 5.5% of medical device–related pressure injuries are attributed to tracheostomy tubes and appliances. Tracheostomy-related pressure injuries are particularly concerning because of the challenges they pose for wound care and the risk of potentially life-threatening infectious complications.Learners must attend/view/read the entire activity, read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes, and complete the associated evaluation to be awarded the contact hours or CERP. No partial credit will be awarded.
