April 27, 2022 – Challenging Safe Patient Mobilization Clinical Case Scenarios: Live interactive discussion
Presented live April 27, 2022 2 pm – 3 pm Eastern
Overview
This webinar will include a combination of video and live scenarios, which we will discuss live in this interactive webinar format. We will include mobility goals for the applied scenarios, mobility screening and decision-making for choice of equipment used to achieve mobility goal safely. Using the chat function, attendees will be encouraged to interact, provide their ideas about solutions, and we will discuss as a team.
Cases will include:
- Mobilizing a patient weighing 425lbs, status post open-heart surgery and fall resulting in ORIF.
- Ambulating patients on ECMO
- Using SPHM in an ICU setting with multiple lines, tubes, drains and complex patient presentations to achieve safe mobility
- Using SPHM technologies for nursing care in orthopedic patients on traction
During this session, we will also discuss YOUR challenging cases and solutions. This webinar is appropriate for new learners to see what is possible with SPHM technologies, but is also appropriate for advanced SPHM learners to brainstorm about highly challenging cases and advanced clinical decision-making.
