CME: Goal-directed resuscitation in sepsis - a case-based approach test
ACCREDITATION EXPIRED: November 30, 2011
Activity Description / Statement of Need:
In this online CME self-learning program:
The hemodynamic status of critically ill patients is complex often with complicating co-morbidities. As a result there are often conflicting therapeutic goals involved, such as maintaining hemodynamic instability and fluid management with ALI/ARDS. The challenges to managing septic shock are to find the right parameters to monitor and the end-points for adequate resuscitation. Current evidence supports the use of dynamic parameters rather than traditional static ones for fluid responsiveness. When caring for the complex patient, caveats with traditional assessment variables exist. Clinicians need to become more aware of new developments in managing septic shock. This session discusses current evidence for use of dynamic parameters in a goal directed approach to resolve sepsis, as well as caveats around other parameters used in goal directed resuscitation, such as ScvO2 and lactate levels.
Target Audience:
This program has been designed for a multidisciplinary physician and nurse audience including: ICU / Anesthesia / Peri-op / Intensivists / Trauma / Critical Care
This program is supported by an educational grant from Edwards Lifesciences, a manufacturer of Medical Devices.
