Your Cardiopulmonary Certificate will equip you with new assessment techniques and interventions so you can confidently differentiate respiratory and cardiac signs & symptoms. Learn quick tips for blood gas interpretation, master ABG analysis and watch mannequin responses in a virtual simulation lab!

PLUS, you will have access to a pre-recorded Q&A call with Emergency Department Clinician/Educator Robin Gilbert, MSN, RN, CEN, CPEN.

Here’s what you will learn in this comprehensive online course:

Video Segment 1: Cardiac and Respiratory Complexities: Quickly Differentiate to Take Rapid Action

• The BEST strategies to de-mystify the ECG findings
• Making sense of cardiac medications
• Hemodynamics: Improve your confidence interpreting results
• Early signs of clinical deterioration: How did the clues get missed?
• Critical steps to manage fluid and electrolyte levels
• ABGs made easy
• Pacing devices & other interventions: What’s trending
• CPAP, BiPAP, and ventilators

This video segment is divided into 6 modules and will provide you with the confidence to recognize early and identify appropriate interventions to prevent further deterioration. We will discuss when non-invasive ventilation devices should – and should not – be used. If you are still struggling with blood gases, don’t let blood gases intimidate you! Learn quick and easy ways to interpret ABG results. You will learn from actual patient stories to illustrate the complexities and co-morbidities of cardiac and respiratory diagnoses!

Video Segment 2: Pulmonary Emergencies

We will discuss crucial assessment findings and interventions for pulmonary emergencies including mechanical ventilation criteria for the following:

• Respiratory Failure
• Pulmonary Embolism
• COPD
• ARDS

Video Segment 3: Heart and Lung Sounds, 2nd Edition

Achieving excellence in the care we give is a goal for every healthcare provider. To do so, we must ensure that we have the tools to allow for critical thinking to occur. One of the most fundamental tools for success in the medical arena is to understand the clues we find in our assessments. Cyndi Zarbano discusses pearls of wisdom for excellent assessment skills and be able to explain the: who, what, why, and where’s of extra heart and lung sound clues.

• Aortic Stenosis
• Mitral Valve Prolapse
• Tricuspid Regurgitation
• Patent Ductus Arteriosus
• Bronchial Breath Sounds

Video Segment 4: Simulation Lab Scenarios to Prevent a Real Patient Crisis

Robin Gilbert, MSN, RN, CEN, CPEN will use simulation scenarios to identify patients whose condition is deteriorating, the appropriate interventions, and desired outcomes. Simulation provides a non-threatening approach to high-risk scenarios that will ultimately improve patient safety. The realism of simulation can improve failure to rescue situations in actual patient care. During the scenarios, the mannequins will respond based on the interventions delivered for a variety of high risk situations, including:

• Pulmonary Embolism
• Shock
• Sepsis
• Respiratory Crisis
• Acute Change in LOC
