“COVID-19 Clinical Deterioration outside the ICU: Prediction, Detection & Escalation”
Since March 2020, CDC data indicates that more than 6 million people in the US have been infected by COVID-19. Hospitals in various parts of the U.S. continue to face shortages in ICU bed capacity and staff. The diversity in clinical presentation and the potential for rapid deterioration requires effective surveillance of inpatients not presently requiring critical care support.
Learning Objectives | After this activity, the participant will be able to:
- Discuss the leading predictors of clinical deterioration in non-COVID-19 + vs COVID-19+ populations.
- Discuss key clinical complications of COVID-19 associated with rapid clinical deterioration.
- Discuss the role of early warning scoring and predictive algorithms in guiding the escalation of care for COVID-19 + patients.
