Pre- and post-operative complications can be fatal if not recognized and treated rapidly. You want to see all of your patients thriving, but surgical complications are tricky…while many pre- and post-operative complications (like potentially–fatal malignant hyperthermia) can occur in the immediate post–operative period, some may present later in the follow–up care. Your patients and their loved ones are counting on your observational and rapid response skills to keep them safe.
If you care for patients who receive sedation, anesthesia or analgesia in the perianesthesia, operative, intervention or inpatient setting, this online course is for you!
Through case studies and the latest evidence–based practice guidelines, two hand–picked experts give you the skills and insights you need to address your greatest clinical challenges and prevent malpractice situations.
Walk away with answers to questions like:
- What are the unique needs of my Obese, Pediatric, Geriatric & Obstetric patients?
- How should I respond to post-operative cardiac and respiratory emergencies?
- Why is one anesthetic used over another? And what does that mean for post-op recovery needs?
- How can false imprisonment laws be broken through use of patient restraints?
- In which circumstances should an endotracheal tube be used vs. laryngeal mask when giving general anesthesia?
- What is the best way to treat post–op nausea and vomiting when these symptoms are impacted by multiple receptors?
Mistakes that aren’t properly cared for have great consequences for the patient, individual nurse and organization…learn to anticipate what your patients need and when to call for help so you, your patients and your facility stay safe!
