2025 Fall Education 10.15.25
Multi-disciplinary education which will provide the nurse learners updates on patient care with respect to pediatric trauma, respiratory, and infant mechanical ventilation.
Target Audience
Nurse
Physician
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Apply evidence-based protocols to initiate treatment for postpartum patients experiencing hypertensive emergencies, including medication administration and monitoring during transport.
- Differentiate between potential causes of maternal collapse, including Amniotic Fluid Embolism (AFE), placental abruption, and neurologic conditions, and implement appropriate management strategies in the transport setting.
- Perform umbilical vein catheter placement in a neonatal resuscitation scenario, demonstrating procedural accuracy and readiness for emergent vascular access.
- Execute advanced airway management techniques, including the use of deep sedation induction (DSI), external laryngeal manipulation, and intubation of bariatric patients, to maximize first-pass success.
- Analyze failed airway attempts using clinical reasoning and video-assisted debriefing to identify improvement strategies and reduce repeat errors in future scenarios.
- Complete a rapid trauma assessment and prioritize interventions based on injury patterns, vital signs, and mechanism of injury during time-sensitive transports.
- Apply ACLS principles to trauma arrest by identifying and treating reversible causes (H’s and T’s) using structured clinical algorithms in simulation or live patient care.
- Interpret ventilator alarms, blood gases, and respiratory trends to identify causes of patient-ventilator dyssynchrony and make evidence-based adjustments to transport ventilators.
- Initiate and document ventilator consults using a structured communication tool to clearly convey patient status, ventilator data, and clinical concerns to medical command.
- Demonstrate Crew Resource Management (CRM) principles during team-based scenarios, using closed-loop communication, role clarity, and situational awareness to improve team performance and patient safety.
