Theater Information

ED overcrowding, while extremely common, can be hazardous to patient care and to overall hospital operations. Learn about the latest tools that can have an impact on patient safety in your waiting room:

• The latest practices for rapid identification of patients at risk of ACS.
• Monocyte Distribution Width (MDW), a new parameter available within the CBC differential that can help escalate or de-escalate care for patients at risk of sepsis.
