Description for Providers: Your sick patient needing transfer is boarding in your ED awaiting weather to clear or is 5th on the list for an air medical team. Your rural hospital may or may not have RT or an ICU and likely no intensivists. Sound familiar? In this skills lab, we will focus on the ongoing care of critically ill patients including managing ventilation settings for both adult and pediatric patients. You will have the opportunity to practice central lines and arterial lines as well.

Description for Nursing Staff: This lab is part of the *Critical Nursing Skills workshop (including the following topics: IO placement, chest tube drain set-up/management, arterial line set-up/management) and will review setup and management of these devices – in less populated areas we have fewer opportunities to practice these skills and can use a periodic refresher.
