title: Application of trauma concepts in the medical-surgical client.
abstract: Concepts related to fluid administration, hemodynamic monitoring, bladder pressure monitoring, acid-base status, and temperature management are applicable in all clients, not just those with traumatic injury. Two case studies are illustrated showing how trauma care concepts are also relevant to the acutely ill client. Nurses are challenged to identify how the content presented in this symposium can be used for all clients.
