Aortic Dissection: When Minutes and Medications Matter

Wednesday, April 22
Room 106
CAPCE Credit , Resuscitation & Shock

Chest pain, tearing down the back ... vitals crashing fast. What do you do? This class will help you catch the most lethal chest pain you'll ever see-aortic dissection. This isn't just rare-it's easily missed, often fatal, and on you to catch it first. Every hour without treatment, the chance of death goes up by 1%. If you don't think about it, you won't find it. In this class, you'll learn how to spot the subtle signs, ask the right questions, and make decisions on medications that can save a life before the patient even gets to the hospital. Sharpen your clinical edge and be the one who doesn't miss the dissection.

*Eligible for CEH/CAPCE Credit
