Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Demystified from Sean G. Smith
More information about Medical:
Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.
Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
Description:
Get the latest and greatest on ARDS in this up-to-date, comprehensive and interactive session! We’ll discuss the underlying physiology, so you understand WHY you’re seeing what you’re seeing, the patient’s projected clinical course and rationales for each intervention…. We will review adult, pediatric and neonatal Respiratory anatomy and physiology, pulmonary physical examination, blood gasses, ARDS pathophysiology, Ventilator Management (including advanced modes such as APRV and HFOV), Adjuncts such as proning and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), and MORE!
OBJECTIVES
- Analyze how ARDS pathophysiology presents related to atelectasis, compliance, oxygenation, ventilation, perfusion, and other assessment data throughout the clinical course of the disease state.
- Demonstrate individual interventions and overall strategies to minimize the impact of ARDS pathophysiology and promote a return to homeostasis.
- List common etiologies of ARDS pathology.
- Recognize differing ventilator modes for patients with ARDS to get the best patient outcomes.
