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.

Cardiac Emergencies

As the first in a six-part series on managing common nursing emergencies, "Cardiac Emergencies" will help you better manage patients with cardiovascular problems. The focus is on helping you prevent, detect and rapidly respond to cardiac crisis in all of your patients.

"Cardiac Emergencies" will help you:
• Decrease complications by using prevention techniques
• Rapidly detect problems in their early stages
• Implement prompt action to decrease complications

Learn how to anticipate and manage the 5 most common cardiac emergencies:
• Acute coronary syndrome
• Cardiogenic shock
• Congestive heart failure
• Pericarditis
• Cardiac tamponade

"Cardiac Emergencies" teaches non-invasive methods of evaluating your patient's cardiac status, and gives you practical advice on monitoring your patient and intervening promptly. This course is taught by David W. Woodruff, MSN, RN, CNS, CEN, a nationally-known nursing expert and teacher.

In this web-based seminar (webinar) you will be able to see the presentation on your computer, listen to the speaker on your phone and interact by asking questions on the phone or online. Questions such as:
- How can you use non-invasive strategies to assess my cardiac patient?
- What are the best signs of cardiac dysfunction?
- How can you differentiate between types and causes of chest pain?
And many more will be answered.

If you would like to learn more about caring for your patients with cardiac problems, to be able to find problems fast and respond appropriately, and what cutting-edge strategies are now available to identify and treat cardiovascular disease, then this is the program for you! "Cardiac Emergencies" was recorded live on January 17, 2008.
