ED Staff Education Meeting

August 4, 2021

 The content provided in the staff education meeting will help address gaps in knowledge related to nursing care of patients who present with burn injuries as well as those requiring epinephrine drips. ED nurses care for patients with a variety of emergent issues. Caring for patients with burns can be challenging since they are typically treated at a burn center. In addition, caring for critically ill patients requiring vasoactive medications (specifically epinephrine drips) in the Emergency Department can be challenging as they require many resources and rapid intervention.
