Online Hospitalist and Emergency Procedures CME Course Now Available!

VENTURA, Calif. - Dec. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- The Hospitalist and Emergency Procedures CME course is an Internet CME curriculum that will provide current, evidence-based information about the 20 most common bedside procedures performed in the emergency room, intensive care unit, and hospital wards.

This way you can learn anywhere and anytime!  You can learn at your office, in a coffee shop, on your home couch, or while you are lounging at the pool.  The choice is yours.  You can also learn in spurts when you have time.  All of the modules are 30-45 minutes long and can be paused at any time if necessary.

The CME course will be comprised of 17 online modules that will cover the indications, contraindications, techniques, complications, fluid analysis, and coding of these procedures. Topics covered include informed consent, procedural sedation, central line, intraosseous line, peripheral IV, and arterial line placement, point-of-care ultrasound including E-FAST and RUSH exams, mechanical ventilation, needle decompression, basic suturing, tube thoracostomy, thoracentesis, lumbar puncture, paracentesis, and basic and difficult airway management including video laryngoscopy. Our course teaches you not only how to perform these procedures, but also will teach you how to optimize clinical management using data collected from these various procedures.  For example, we will teach you how to analyze CSF, pleural, and ascitic fluid, how to use ultrasound to assess a patient’s hemodynamic profile, and the basics of ventilator management.
