Nurse practitioners, nurses, physician assistants and even physicians have told me that they are apprehensive to prescribe, administer or send a patient for a cardiac intervention or diagnostic test due to a lack of confidence and up-to-date knowledge. I understand the challenge…as there is a lot to understand when making these critical patient decisions.
I’m Dr. Paul Langlois, APN, PhD, CCRN, CCNS, a critical care clinical specialist in the surgical, medical, neurologic, burn, CCU and trauma ICUs of Cook County Hospital, Chicago. Throughout my career I have assisted countless healthcare providers overcome fears associated with ordering and interpreting cardiac tests. If a test or intervention were ordered inadvertently, we may not get the information we need to make informed decisions or worse….we could cause potentially dire patient consequences.
During this comprehensive training event, you can expect to learn:
Red flags that intensive cardiac testing is required
Radiology options as an assessment AND intervention
Implications of overlooked genetic cardiac tests
Lifesaving cardiac therapeutics – including the PROMeNADe study
Up to date guidelines for cardiac interventions
The impact of common medications on cardiac testing
But that’s not all! I will be sharing some of my unforgettable, real-world case studies after each major section to reinforce your learning. Together we will evaluate laboratory data, ECG results, ECHO cardiograms, physical assessment findings and clinical pearls to interpret the diagnostic interventions. The only thing that is missing during this event is the antiseptic smell of the hospital…
執業護士、護士、醫師助理甚至醫生都告訴我，由於缺乏信心和最新知識，他們對開處方、管理或送患者進行心臟干預或診斷測試感到擔憂。我理解挑戰……因為在做出這些關鍵的患者決定時需要了解很多。
我是Paul Langlois 博士，APN，PhD，CCRN，CCNS，芝加哥庫克縣醫院外科、內科、神經病學、燒傷、CCU 和創傷 ICU 的重症監護臨床專家。在我的整個職業生涯中，我幫助無數醫療保健提供者克服了與訂購和解釋心臟檢查相關的恐懼。如果無意中下令進行測試或乾預，我們可能無法獲得做出明智決定所需的信息，或者更糟…… 我們可能會導致潛在的可怕後果。
在這次綜合培訓活動中，您可以期望學習到：
需要進行強化心臟檢查的危險信號
放射學選擇作為評估和乾預
被忽視的基因心臟測試的影響
挽救生命的心臟療法——包括 PROMeNADe 研究
最新的心臟干預指南
常用藥物對心臟檢查的影響
但這還不是全部！在每個主要部分之後，我將分享一些我難忘的真實案例研究，以加強您的學習。我們將一起評估實驗室數據、心電圖結果、ECHO 心電圖、身體評估結果和臨床信息，以解釋診斷干預措施。在這次活動中唯一缺少的是醫院的防腐劑氣味……
