In this symposium, Dr. Sloane provides a logical, stepwise approach to the interpretation of acid-base disturbances without the need to invoke onerous formulas and rules. By the end of this session, you will be able to identify simple (single) acid-base disorders, understand the appropriate acute and chronic compensation to a single disorder, discern the difference between uncompensated, acutely compensated, partially compensated and fully compensated disorders, recognize a second primary (double) disorder, expose “hidden” and “complex” acid-base disorders and appreciate the differential diagnosis of the six primary acid-base disorders
Dr. Bohner will follow with a discussion of the pathophysiology, diagnostic strategy, and management of acute lung injury in the ICU setting
Just below is a screenshot of our learning center’s Dashboard and an example of one of the test questions. On the Dashboard, you’ll find a quick-links to your subscribed courses. Each Session Home page has the session objectives, line up of modules (including single click access to the course content) and progress check boxes. After completing the evaluation and post-test (multiple attempts allowed), you’ll have one click access to your CME certificate. We also provide you with PDF’s of the slide deck and other handouts. We know you will enjoy the streamlined course navigation. Thanks to our friends at Course Merchant for help in the design of the course!
