Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders affecting about 1 in 500 African American children and 1 in 36,000 Hispanic American children. SCD leads to anemia and “sickle cell crisis” (SCC). The main clinical feature of sickle cell disease is the “acute painful crisis,” which often requires hospitalization. SCC is primarily characterized by severe acute pain and impaired end-organ function. Symptoms of SCC depend on the areas involved. Pain can begin from any part of the body but frequently affects the extremities, back, and chest areas.In a patient with SCC, evaluation is primarily performed to determine the severity of the acute disease flare. Treatment and management of SCD primarily consists of managing symptoms and associated complications. This activity for healthcare professionals aims to enhance learners’ competence in selecting appropriate diagnostic tests, managing sickle cell disease and associated crises, and fostering effective interprofessional teamwork to improve outcomes.
