Management success in Emergncy & Critical Care – case oriented approach
In the 10 sessions of this online series, numerous ECC cases will be presented with a clinical approach. The Principal Course Master Dr. Nadja Sigrist (Dipl. ACVECC/ECVECC) will share her expertise, so that the participants can use it in their daily practice.
The full series consists of 10 online case discussion sessions, each of 90 – 120 minutes. The cases will be released in advance as a PDF or PP and will be interactively discussed in a live format. An open forum will be set up for any questions and discussion for 1 week after each session. Depending on the availability, a few selected cases from the participants will also be discussed. The number of participants is limited to provide optimal interaction.
Emergency & Critical care, Session 1
Emergency & Critical care, Session 1
Patient-based fluid therapy
When dealing with fluid therapy, the emergency clinician needs to decide which patient needs fluid, which fluid type is indicated, how to administer the ideal fluid and how much of it. In this case-based webinar we revisit the reasons for fluid therapy and the assessment of the fluid deficit as this information is needed to determine the type and amount of fluid.
We will discuss optimal amount of fluid and rate of administration in different types of emergencies.
Learning outcome:
In this webinar you learn how to approach a patient with a potential fluid deficit and to develop an individual fluid therapy plan to stabilize the patient’s fluid needs.
