Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Damage control surgery and temporary abdominal closure (TAC) are now the standard of care for managing bleeding and infectious or ischemic processes in the critically ill. Damage control use has evolved from trauma care to its application in abdominal compartment syndrome. Critical care nurses are key in managing postoperative resuscitation and complex wound techniques. Nurses learn to strategize high-level interventions based on best-practice recommendations for damage control surgery and TAC.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.
