Recognizing Early Signs of Trouble Cardiac & Neuro Emergencies by Sean G. Smith & Tom F. Gutchewsky
DESCRIPTION
Heart disease and stroke are two of the leading causes of death in the world …
You need to understand the anatomy and physiology of the heart and nerves … But the complexity of these body systems can overwhelm even the most skilled nurse. The key to avoiding life-threatening complications is the early identification of subtle changes in a patient’s symptoms.
Now, in this comprehensive online course, two carefully selected experts with more than 40 years of experience provide the tools needed to identify presentation and development of symptoms, and the situation is life-threatening. You can intervene with confidence before.
Get the following clinical pearls:
State-of-the-art pharmacological treatments available for cardiac and neurological emergencies
Key insights to predict when invasive procedures such as angioplasty, stent placement and surgery are expected
How Peri-Infarct Asymptomatic VPB Patients Are Increased Risk of Death When Administered Antiarrhythmic Drugs
Which treatment gives the best results based on current ICP
State-of-the-art evidence-based strategies for neurotrauma
