Sarah Crowe: "Death, Dying, and Dignity: End-of-Life Care in Critical Care"

End-of-life care in critical care is a challenging topic that can cause distress to both families and staff. During this lecture, we will aim to discuss the role of end-of-life care in the critical care environment and common challenges and possible strategies for solutions for nursing staff. We will also spend time discussing a detailed systemic approach for implementing the withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies to better prepare nurses to feel more comfortable and confident in providing this vital care.
