Webinar Summary
Our three-part Trauma Care webinar series is designed to provide progressive and critical care nurses with the essential information needed to safely treat post-resuscitation trauma patients — even if you don’t routinely care for them. This third and final webinar in the series uses a body systems approach to educate ICU and PCU nurses about the basics of trauma care:
- Focuses on the lower body: traumatic abdominal, pelvic and long bone injuries
- Includes body systems-based assessment, clinical management considerations, complications and associated mitigation strategies
Your questions are welcome and will be answered by the presenter in a Q&A document added to the Resources section of this page later this year.
Objectives
- Identify body systems assessment for traumatic abdominal, pelvic and long bone injuries.
- List the clinical management considerations for traumatic abdominal, pelvic and long bone injuries.
- Identify the body systems complications and mitigation strategies for traumatic abdominal, pelvic and long bone injuries.
