About
There is increasing evidence regarding Sickle Cell Disease and proper treatment. In June 2018/ the National Model EMS Clinical Guidelines 2.1 added Sickle Cell as a stand-alone protocol to address the changes in management. Does your system know about the changes? Should your system consider a Sickle Cell Protocol? In this presentation, we will review the pathophysiology of Sickle Cell Disease, discuss the evidence-based approach and best practice. You will also receive access to a training scenario and grading rubric that you can take back to your crew for practice.
