Mrs. Kelp had an exacerbation of COPD and was admitted to your floor. She develops worsening dyspnea twenty minutes after admission.

Are you prepared to take care of her?

Do you know what respiratory measures are needed?

Is there a way to manage her hypotension?

The patients in our hospitals are getting sicker by the day. It’s not uncommon to find patients on regular medical floors with central lines. Some nursing homes are now accepting patients on ventilators, while others are sending patients home on dobutamine drips. Even though acuity levels are higher, you are still caring for many patients and don’t have the luxury of frequent, comprehensive assessments. It’s important to be able to quickly assess and implement interventions. Prepare to identify and manage your next patient emergency if you attend this seminar.
