Objectives: • Identify the history of nursing in Hyperbaric Medicine • Identify obstacles in the transport of the critical care patient • Understand the need to fully resuscitate and stabilize the patient prior to hyperbaric therapy • Identify special considerations in the management of the critical care hyperbaric patient • Identify special considerations in the management of the pediatric critical care patient • Recognize the importance of frequent reevaluation of patient stability before, during, and after hyperbaric treatment • Identify all needed equipment to properly manage a critical care patient in hyperbaric chamber
Sun., Oct 24: 2:00-3:00	Pediatric patient evaluation in the monoplace chamber Nituna Phillips, EMT/Kelly-Johnson Arbor, MD Read More Read More The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the traditional patterns of healthcare delivery in the United States and beyond. Due to temporary facility closures and shifts in treatment paradigms, the monoplace hyperbaric facility at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital (MGUH) was the only hyperbaric center in region capable of treating pediatric patients for much of 2020. The MGUH hyperbaric facility, which had previously treated one or two pediatric patients per year, had 7 pediatric patient referrals in the year 2020. The hyperbaric team was challenged to adapt existing patient care strategies to accommodate pediatric patients, while maintaining compliance with safety standards. In this talk, Dr. Johnson-Arbor and Ms. Phillips will describe the patterns of pediatric hyperbaric referrals in 2020, discuss the challenges in the treatment of pediatric patients in the monoplace environment, and suggest modifications of existing practice pathways that can enhance the overall care of pediatric patients who require hyperbaric treatment in monoplace chambers.
