Critical Care Nursing: cardiovascular therapies for the critically ill patient

This Critical Care Nursing (CCN) review webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of cardiovascular therapies used in the treatment of patients who are critically ill. 

Using clinical case studies, this webinar will focus on the current evidence and provide you with the tools to manage and prevent complications in patients requiring cardiovascular interventions including: 

• Cardiac pacing 

• Intra-aortic balloon pump use

• Vasopressors

• Inotropes

Understanding the diverse needs of patients requiring supportive therapies requires an in-depth knowledge of the cardiovascular system. This webinar focuses on applying the nuances of the patient's pathophysiology to the management of complications associated with conditions such as cardiogenic, obstructive and septic shock, acute myocardial infarction, cardiac surgery and interventional cardiac procedures, cardiomyopathy and heart failure.

Who should attend?

This webinar is designed to benefit any clinician caring for patients with cardiac complications in ED, ICU, HDU, CCU, interventional cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery.
