Restoring Hemoglobin
One of the goals for a patient who has a large blood loss is the restoration of normal hemoglobin levels.  This is partially done by blood transfusions, usually to a hemoglobin level of about 10g/dL.  A hemoglobin level that low will leave the patient feeling fatigued, but should be high enough to protect the heart from anemic ischemia.

Geriatric Emergencies

In this one-hour web-based seminar (webinar) you will learn how to manage the five most common emergencies that occur in the elderly population. Emphasis will be placed on physiologic changes in the geriatric population that predisposes them to illness and injury, and what you can do to detect problems early on and implement interventions to prevent complications. Explore the five most common emergencies in the elderly population:

  1. Falls
  2. Change in mental status
  3. Cardiovascular / cerebrovascular events
  4. Poly pharmacy
  5. Abuse and neglect

Geriatric Emergencies will answer many questions you may have about managing patients with problems of aging; questions such as:

  • How can I decrease fall risk?
  • What are the most common cardiac and neurological events in the elderly?
  • How can I recognize the tell-tale signs of multiple medication effects?

And many more will be answered...
