Management of Sickle Cell Disease in the Emergency Department: A Case-Based Discussion
| Overview / Abstract: |
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a painful disease with many life-threatening complications including acute chest syndrome, infections, severe anemia, and venous thromboembolism. Patients with SCD often present to the ED and hence, it is critical for clinicians in the emergency department (ED) to be educated so that they can promptly assess and treat acute sickle cell pain and evaluate and treat associated complications. While there are some current therapies for SCD, novel therapies are presently being investigated in clinical trials. It is important for clinicians to be knowledgeable regarding current and emerging therapies for SCD. This CME Outfitters Snack is included in the 3-part series on management of benign rare blood disorders in the ED. It features a video physician-patient case scenario with hematological insights on the evaluation and management of patients in the ED and current and emerging treatments for SCD. |
