Type of activity
This activity is intended to educate providers in ICU / ER on identifying and rapidly applying interventions to promote a significant and sustainable decrease in mortality of sepsis-related respiratory failure.
Competencies
SCCM supports recommendations that will promote life long learning through continuing education. SCCM promotes activities that encourage the highest quality in education that will enhance knowledge, competence or performance in critical care practice. This activity will meet the following:
-Clinical Knowledge
-Practice Applications
-Communication
-Multiprofessionalism and Teamwork
