Critical Interventions & Actions for:

Trauma’s Lethal Triad
Penetrating Chest Traumas
SIRS & Sepsis
Burn Trauma
Toxicology Challenges
Cardiovascular & Neuro Emergencies

You have the daunting challenge of recognizing subtle changes in a patient’s condition that can lead serious complications or even death. Are you sure you have the knowledge and skills you need to handle these difficult situations?

Working in the rapidly-changing emergency department and caring for the most complex patients means you have to be able to recognize these changes and respond appropriately. You’re dealing with life-threatening conditions and you need to be up to date on the most current and cutting-edge strategies. During this comprehensive program you will gain the skills you need to manage any situation. Drawing on over 20 years of experience, Sean G. Smith, RN, BSN, NREMT-P, C-NPT, CCRN, CMC, CEN, CFRN, FP-C, CPEN, will challenge you to take your knowledge to the next level!

OBJECTIVES

Interpret patterns of ischemia, injury and infarction on a 12-lead EKG.
Discuss cardiac disorders which carry an increased risk for sudden death.
Describe the relationship between ventilation and perfusion.
Identify conditions which would require a chest tube.
Recognize assessment findings in clinical syndromes that may progress rapidly and cause life-threatening conditions.
Define the anatomy and physiology of the neurological system and how this manifests in physical symptoms.
Recognize life-threatening electrolyte imbalances, potential causes and remedies.
Interpret arterial blood gasses using a three-step method.
Compare and contrast the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to pulse oximetry readings, So2 and pO2 values.
Evaluate signs, symptoms and treatment modalities for four different classifications of shock.
Describe systemic inflammatory response syndrome and the spectrum of septic shock.
Correlate clinical presentations of patients during the continuum of SIRS to septic shock.
Discuss the coagulation cascade and laboratory values associated with disruption of normal function.
