In this episode, you'll hear directly from Critical Care nurse leaders at Ohio State about a pilot developed to externalize IV pumps from COVID-19+ patient rooms in an effort to improve infection prevention and also conserve personal protective equipment (PPE). Listeners will learn more about this innovative pilot, how the change was implemented throughout the intensive care units, what obstacles the group faced, how they addressed them, and how clinical staff received the change in practice.
