At the completion of this program, you should be able to:

  1. Identify 5 essentials components of a “down and dirty” assessment in your patient when they have a sudden decomposition in health status.
  2. State 3 rapid interventions that can stabilize a patient who is symptomatic with a low blood pressure.
  3. Recognize the most common causes of arterial blood gas abnormalities.
  4. Quickly identify the 3 most common dysrhythmias using rhythm strip interpretation.
  5. Manage the risk to avoid re-expansion pulmonary edema in the patient with a chest tube for pleural effusion.
  6. Review the correct technique for opening an occluded central line lumen.
  7. Summarize the difference between failure to capture and failure to sense in a pacemaker and how each is resolved.

[+] [-] 075310 - Advanced Management of Complex and Critically Ill Patients:
At the completion of this program, you should be able to:

  1. Summarize the difference between preload, contractility and afterload as components impacting cardiac output.
  2. Identify correct locations for measuring CVP, Arterial Line and Wedge waveforms.
  3. Differentiate between hypotonic, isotonic and hypertonic IV fluids and when each is considered most effective.
  4. Recognize the blood product of choice for Disseminated Intravascular Coagulopathy.
  5. Contrast the difference between hypovolemic shock, septic shock and cardiovascular shock in both assessment and treatment priorities.
  6. Identify two ways to increase the ventilator patient’s oxygenation status.
  7. Compare and contrast CPAP and BiPAP, as well as their target populations.
  8. State 5 common causes of delirium.
  9. Identify the difference between a STEMI and NSTEMI.
  10. Recognize the three biggest concerns patients recognize at end of life.
