| NATIONAL Webinar September 16 1700 hrs ET | Joint Webinar with the Canadian Vascular Access Association Beyond Usual Care: Does New Randomized Evidence Support a New Standard for CVAD Locking Sponsored by SterileCare This webinar will explore the scientific rationale for CVAD locking strategies and review contemporary evidence supporting catheter maintenance and complication prevention. Faculty will review the pathophysiology of catheter occlusion and intraluminal biofilm formation, explore the role of calcium in coagulation and microbial attachment, and discuss how different locking agents may influence these pathways. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the trial design, methodology, and outcomes, including the observed reduction in catheter-associated complications among patients receiving 4% tetrasodium EDTA. The session will also consider the potential implications of these findings for vascular access and critical care practice, providing clinicians with an opportunity to evaluate emerging evidence and consider how new locking technologies may fit within existing standards of care. | Complimentary for CACCN and CVAA Members View Flyer Register HERE |

| NATIONAL Webinar November 3 1200 hrs ET | Joint Webinar with the Canadian Association of Neonatal Nurses Chronic Hand Eczema w/ Cdn Association of Neonatal Nurses This session will explore the underrecognized burden of chronic hand eczema (CHE) among Canadian nurses and its implications for workforce sustainability. Beyond a skin condition, CHE is a significant occupational health issue contributing to attrition in an already strained healthcare system. Drawing on a recent national survey led by the Canadian Association of Critical Care Nurses and the Canadian Association of Neonatal Nurses, findings show that 80% of affected nurses report worsening symptoms due to frequent hand hygiene, and 75% report significant impacts on work performance. The session outlines strategies to advance prevention, protection, early intervention, and supportive policy solutions to safeguard our frontline workforce. Presenters: Marley Gregorio, VP, CACCN, Caroline Penner, and Amy Wright, President, CANN CACCN, CANN CHE Unified Letter CACCN, CANN CHE White Paper | Register HERE Open to all 90 seats available |
NATIONAL Webinar November 25 1300 hrs ET | Initial Burn Care and Stabilization – Priorities in the First 24 Hours Caring for patients with severe burn injuries presents unique challenges that extend far beyond wound management. From recognizing inhalation injury and securing a threatened airway to managing complex fluid resuscitation and identifying time-sensitive surgical emergencies, all critical care nurses can play a vital role in improving outcomes during the early phases of burn care. In this engaging 40-45-minute session, participants will review the key principles of burn management within the first 24 hours. The presentation will explore early assessment priorities, evidence-based fluid resuscitation strategies, recognition of the systemic hypermetabolic response, and interventions that support recovery while minimizing complications. Challenges and pitfalls of initial burn care will be discussed while transfer to specialized burn centers is being organized. The session concludes with a live 15-minute question-and-answer period focused on practical challenges and real-world clinical application. The target audience for this webinar is critical care nurses who are not experienced in providing burn care or who work in specialized burn care centers but may not work with this population. Presenters: Evan Barker, BN, RN, CNCC(C) | Register HERE Open to all 90 seats available |
