Course Description:
When responding to a cardiac emergency, the health care practitioner has a very narrow time window within which to positively influence a patient's outcome. The successful management of an emergent cardiac event relies on rapid assessment and intervention. We invite you to attend this practical, evidence-based seminar to improve your understanding of underlying cardiac conditions and to confidently arrive at time-sensitive diagnoses when faced with life-threatening cardiac emergencies.
Spend the day with nationally-known speaker and cardiovascular nursing expert, Paul Langlois, and receive the latest assessment and treatment protocols for managing patients with acute cardiac conditions. This interactive program will enhance your ECG interpretation skills and elevate your hemodynamic understanding of cardiac emergencies.
