Description
Emergency cases can present at any time of the day or night and catch the team off guard! Nurses play an important role in the initial triage assessment and stabilisation of these cases and so understanding the key principles of stabilisation will help ensure the patient receives prompt life-saving support. This session will take a case-based approach to look at commonly used stabilisation techniques for emergency patients including: the principles of effective triage, identification and treatment of shock, delivery of oxygen, the benefits of an emergency database and other commonly used stabilisation techniques.
