SCCM is updating its SCCM Connect Community. Access to SCCM Connect may be limited until April 23.
Developed by international experts, this course provides evidence-based strategies for the entire multiprofessional critical care team that aims to liberate patients from the harmful effects of an ICU stay.
The Society of Critical Care Medicine is partnering with Vanderbilt University Medical Center to offer a two-day course in which participants will gain the knowledge and skills to improve ICU patient care through application of the pain, agitation/sedation, delirium, immobility, and sleep disruption (PADIS) guidelines. Focused, expert-led didactic lectures paired with small-group simulation labs will create a comprehensive learning experience led by international ICU Liberation experts.
The course will cover the PADIS guideline recommendations and ICU Liberation Bundle (A-F) implementation in a multiprofessional clinical setting. Each day consists of significant hands-on experience of applying strategies during patient scenario simulations. Accredited continuing medical education credit hours are available to physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and respiratory therapists.
