Fecal Incontinence in the Critically Ill: Causes, Complications and Care NORTH AMERICA

Global Innovation Summit Series: (Accredited) Fecal Incontinence in the Critically Ill: Causes, Complications and Care

Why do up to 78% of ICU patients experience Faecal Incontinence?

How does Faecal Incontinence impacts skin health and patient outcomes?

What role does Fecal Management Systems (FMS) play in prevention and dignity-preserving care?

Get the answers to these questions and more. We are thrilled to invite you to a free, fully accredited, immersive and interactive global event designed exclusively for healthcare professionals like you seeking to expand their knowledge and enhance their clinical skills in faecal management.

This episode focuses on faecal management as a critical intervention to prevent pressure injury, infection, and compromised dignity in complex and critical care patients.

This highly engaging Masterclass will delve into the underlying clinical science, patient safety considerations, and the latest device innovations that are shaping the future of ICU and complex faecal care management.

Moderated by Dr Negin Shamsian, Editor of Wound Masterclass and chaired by Dr. Joyce Black, PhD, RN, FAAN—an internationally recognized expert in skin integrity and pressure injury prevention—this session explores the causes, complications, and care strategies for fecal incontinence in the critically ill.

Through evidence-based insights and clinical guidance, attendees will gain actionable knowledge to improve care delivery and reduce complications.
