Description

The Critically ill population offers complex clinical situations that can alter their skin integrity.  In the battle of the ABC’s of resuscitation, the skin is often left behind.  This session will focus on the unique clinical factors that make the critically ill population so susceptible to skin injuries, identify common skin manifestations seen in the critically ill, and describe management of patients with these skin injuries.
