Greenwich Hospital recently hosted its annual Critical Care Skills Day, a Trauma Program-sponsored event and the only hands-on training program of its kind at the hospital.
The program brings together advanced practice providers, medical residents and physicians for immersive training designed to reinforce critical care and emergency response skills.
Participants rotated through various stations, practicing procedures such as FAST exams, arterial and central line placement, chest tube management, interosseous access, traction splinting, cricothyroidotomy, use of the LUCAS chest compression system and Stop the Bleed techniques. The event also included reviews of massive transfusion and transfusion reaction protocols.
Through hands-on learning and interdisciplinary collaboration, Critical Care Skills Day helps ensure clinicians are prepared to deliver quality, timely care in high-acuity situations. The event also reflects the hospital’s ongoing commitment to clinical excellence, teamwork and patient safety.
