Bleeding Disorders: Management of Pediatric Patients
Recorded On: 01/16/2019
Bleeding disorders are rare and complex, and to some nurses, frightening. The information in this presentation is designed to introduce and discuss the management of pediatric patients with a bleeding disorder. Infusion nurses are key to high-quality care in the home setting. Therefore, bleeding disorder-specific education is critical in the implementation and delivery of excellent nursing care. During this presentation, participants will explore the classifications of bleeding disorders, review laboratory tests necessary for diagnosing a bleeding disorder, and discuss current and emerging treatment options, as well as complications associated with bleeding disorders.
Learning Outcomes:
At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
• Describe the classifications of hemophilia A, hemophilia B, and von Willebrand disease (VWD).
• Recall the types of screening for hemophilia A, B, and vWD.
• Discuss the treatment for hemophilia A, hemophilia B, and vWD.
• Recognize signs and symptoms of complications in pediatric patients with a bleeding disorder.
