Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Fulminant myocarditis (FM) has a low incidence but is associated with poor outcomes. Despite the increasing availability of circulatory support, heart transplantation, and disease-specific therapies, patients with FM experience significant morbidity and mortality due to delays in diagnosis and initiation of circulatory support and a lack of appropriately trained specialists to manage the condition. Nurses are an integral part of the care team. This article describes specific nursing interventions critical to the treatment of patients with FM, including ECMO, intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) support, and delivery of high-quality patient care, resulting in a positive patient outcome. This case report expands the literature and discusses nursing interventions for patients with FM and electrical storm receiving circulatory support.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes.
