1) End Tidal CO2 Monitoring and Resuscitation (1 contact hour)
Measurement of the end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) value, coupled with use of the continuous, real-time measure of EtCO2 via the capnography waveform, or capnograph, provides a powerful diagnostic tool in the evaluation and treatment of a variety of clinical situations. The primary focus of this presentation is on the use of both the EtCO2 value and the capnogram in the evaluation and treatment of patients experiencing potentially life-threatening resuscitative events, however a limited selection of other capnography clinical applications is also shared. In addition, the speaker offers guidelines about how to use EtCO2 to guide decisions about patient selection for resuscitation treatment, and secondarily, how use of this information helps to channel communication efforts around end-of-life issues.
2) Breast Cancer Overview (1.5 contact hours)
This module is designed to give the participant a general overview of breast cancer. No prior medical knowledge is required. Upon completion the student will be able to distinguish between the basic forms of breast cancer and understand its various stages of development. Additionally there is a review of the most common detection techniques (including self-examination) and a discussion on the ever-expanding variety of imaging technologies. Finally, there is an introduction to surgical and drug treatment options available.
3) Early Identification & Treatment of Sepsis Using Clinical Decision Support (0.5 contact hour)
This session will begin with a brief description of the currently recommended physiologic monitoring for patients at risk for sepsis. Using these, practice recommendations for maximizing the use of currently available clinical decision support tools for critically ill patients at risk for sepsis will be discussed.
4) How to Succeed with Defibrillation, Cardioversion, and Transcutaneous Pacing (1 contact hour)
Chances for successful use of defibrillation, synchronized cardioversion, and transcutaneous pacing therapy can be improved when clinicians both understand the technology and how to apply the therapy to minimize risks of failure. This course is designed to provide practical tips, knowledge of which will enable the clinician to defibrillate, cardiovert, and pace with confidence.
