While hypothermia can occur during any season, trauma patients are more vulnerable to it during the winter. The trauma patient is also exposed to severe consequences caused from rhapbdomyolysis and compartment syndrome. Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to describe the sequelae of hypothermia in the trauma patient, along with appropriate management. Additionally, participants will be able to identify the signs of rhabdomyolysis and applicable management schemes, and be able to verbalize signs and symptoms of compartment syndrome and the treatment modalities.
Members who are logged will be provided with a CE Credit link (below) for the duration of 3 years from the original presentation date (noted above). After 3 years, CE will no longer be made available. Members however are still welcome to watch the presentation independently for non-CE credit.
