Vascular Access Emergencies [virtual]
Includes a Live Web Event on 05/19/2024 at 3:45 PM (EDT)
Vascular access contains inherent risks. Some complications of access are minor, but others are limb- or life-threatening. Infusion nurses need an understanding of the pathophysiology behind serious adverse vascular access complications to appropriately prevent or respond to these emergencies. In this session, we will review the most serious vascular access emergencies and prepare nurses to respond when every second matters.
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe the pathophysiology of 4 vascular access emergencies.
- Identify an imminent or evolving vascular access emergency.
- Anticipate appropriate interventions for 4 vascular access emergencies.
