Terri A. Donaldson – Complex Cardiac Emergencies

It is crucial to quickly respond when you are faced with a cardiac crisis. The challenge is to make the best use of that very tight time frame in terms of your patient’s urgent care needs. You will learn the skills and knowledge to quickly spot the signs and symptoms of a rapidly developing cardiac problem. You will learn the latest techniques for diagnosis and intervention to ensure that you are able to manage patient care, minimize complications, and maximize patient outcomes.

This is a compilation of over 23 years’ experience in critical and cardiac nursing. Terri Donaldson We will share the most recent evidence with you-Aims to assess and treat patients suffering from acute cardiac issues. Interactive discussion and hands-on practice-You will be able to improve your ECG interpretation skills and analyze emergency cardiac care cases.-edge response techniques. You will leave feeling renewed and committed to excellence in cardiac healthcare.

Objectives:
After completing this program, you should:

1. There are many causes of chest discomfort, including acute coronary Syndrome, pulmonary embolism and aortic dissection.
2. Identify the electrocardiographic changes that are associated with acute coronary syndrome.
3. Analyze the nonpharmacological and pharmacological factors-Acute coronary syndrome: pharmacological treatment strategies
4. Utilize evidenced-Based practice that describes optimal patient outcomes for patients suffering from acute coronary syndrome.
5. You should be able to distinguish between the different electrocardiographic changes which imitate myocardial damage.
6. Care of patients suffering from acute myocardial injury, such as cardiogenic shock, right-ventricular infarction and mechanical complications, should be determined.
7. Describe cardiac dysrhythmias that need immediate or emergent intervention.
8. Analyze the clinical presentation and exam results, as well as the treatment of cardiac taponade.
