You will learn how short, straight-forward set of evidence-based practices, performed in a timely manner, can improve patient outcomes in sepsis and prevent occurrence of septic shock. Becoming aware of risks and causes can help identify patients so that bundle interventions to restore tissue perfusion and treat underlying infection can be initiated. Recognize how additional support, in way of nutritional metabolic management, can directly decrease rates of morbidity in septic patients. Incorporating the diagnostic criteria for sepsis, understanding the surviving sepsis campaign bundles as well as following most recent guidelines on clinical nutrition can improve your septic patients outcome.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a global health problem and a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. COPD is the third-leading cause of death in the United States. The diagnosis and treatment of COPD are continuously evolving. Recent studies indicate that COPD is a complex heterogeneous syndrome that is caused by defined pathophysiological mechanisms and induces systemic effects throughout the body.

Malnutrition Considerations for Clinicians During Enteral Feeding

There is a critical need to effectively communicate patient-specific information during transfers and handoffs. This course will review the risk and consequences of ineffective communication, barriers to success, and real-life examples to illustrate the importance of utilizing a standardized hand-off process for adults and pediatric patients.
The effects of fatigue and job burnout is another factor that contributes to ineffective hand-offs and medical errors. We will conclude the course with evidence-based guidelines, models, and communication tools that can be utilized by those involved in documenting vital hand-off information for providers and clinical staff.
