An Introduction to 3M ActiV.A.C. Therapy in the Post-Acute Setting
This training will prepare you to care for patients using 3M ActiV.A.C. Therapy. By the end of this training, you will be able to explain negative pressure therapy to your patients, complete 3M V.A.C. Therapy steps with simulated patients, and troubleshoot alarms and alerts to allow for continuous therapy
Driving to Zero: The Rationale for Every Load Monitoring Across Sterilization Modalities
In healthcare, the objective is to continually raise the bar for patient safety to ensure positive patient outcomes. The sterile processing department plays a critical role in meeting this goal. While there are many essential tools in the sterilization quality assurance toolbox, the biological indicator (BI) is the only monitoring tool that directly measures the lethality (killing power) of the sterilization process. This presentation will explore the fundamentals of steam and vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization, the sterilization quality assurance tools available to monitor the effectiveness of the processes, and the rationale for performing every load monitoring (ELM) with a BI regardless of the sterilization modality.
When Patient Safety is on the Table: The Basics of Table Top Sterilizers
We see them everywhere; in the nail salon, veterinary offices, and even at the dentist. And while it may bring a sense of ease and confidence over us to see our instruments coming out of them, there is so much that goes into their use. In this webinar we’ll show why table top sterilizers are the smallest and mightiest microbial destroyers out there and the practices that must be followed to ensure that they live up to their namesake.

Optimizing Patient Outcomes: The Importance of Temperature
Core temperature monitoring and maintaining normothermia are crucial in ERAS®, as they can prevent complications and improve patient outcomes. The 3M Bair Hugger Temperature Monitoring System is an example of a tool that can be used to monitor and track a patient's core temperature during surgery and recovery. By preventing perioperative hypothermia, healthcare providers can reduce the risk of adverse events such as delayed wound healing, infection, cardiovascular complications, and prolonged hospital stays, resulting in faster recovery times and decreased healthcare costs. These measures are essential components of ERAS® protocols that help optimize patient outcomes and promote efficient healthcare delivery.
