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.

Renal Dysfunction
Mrs. Mersa is admitted with sepsis and hypotension.  Her labs indicate:
BUN 58 mg/dl
Serum creatinine 2.1 mg/dl
Urine sodium 70 mEq/L
Urine specific gravity 1.010, with cellular casts and RBCs in the urine.
Based on these findings you would consider:

Which action first?
Which information about a patient who has just been admitted to the hospital with nausea and vomiting will require the most rapid intervention by the nurse?

 

The Lung in Detail

Slowly and silently your lungs pull air in and out several times a minute – sometimes slowly, sometimes rapidly, always with perfect control. When things go wrong the lungs can become incredibly complex organs to diagnose and treat.

Have you ever wondered why:
- Patients who suffer respiratory arrest often complain of anxiety as much as 8 hours before they decompensate?
- Pulse oximetry can be normal when your patient is having difficulty breathing?
- Abnormal breath sounds form and what they mean?

If you have a hard time explaining to your patients about how a pulmonary embolism affects lung function or why some asthmatics can become hypoxic and stop breathing, then you need to go back to the basics with the help of a mentor who can really make the information easy and understandable.

Most of us learned our anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology in nursing school where we were focused primarily on passing the class. We memorized, we studied, but we quickly forgot.

You learn differently now. With years of nursing experience, your brain has learned to classify your professional information into “file folders” based on your clinical experiences. Now, when you go back to learn these concepts, your brain will put the information into the correct “folder” to use the next time you encounter a patient with that problem. In other words, you will retain the information now that you have a way to organize it.

Understanding the essential concepts of pulmonary anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology will help you find patient complications faster and respond to them more appropriately. In addition:

  • You will communicate more effectively with physicians and your peers,
  • You will feel more confident,
  • You will provide safer and more effective care!

That is why I have put together a special program just for you entitled “The Lung in Detail.” This program will make you a better nurse!

The Lung in Detail contains:
The Lung Revealed: Examine the structure and function of the components of the lungs, airways and endocrine controls that affect pulmonary function.

Oxygen Delivery and Consumption: O2, CO2, acids, and bases. There’s more to the lung than just oxygenation. Find out how the lung controls acid/base balance and the mechanisms that protect the body from hypoxic injury.

Common Pulmonary Conditions: How and Why They Upset the Balance. Find out what is really going on during acute pulmonary edema, COPD, and pulmonary embolism.

Less Common Pulmonary Disorders: Why They Take Your Breath Away. Discover the pathophysiologic mechanisms behind less common pulmonary disorders such as ARDS, hospital-acquired pneumonia, and pulmonary hypertension.

The Lung in Detail

As you can see, you get an incredible amount of useful information that you can take back to the bedside and use immediately to improve your nursing care!

If for any reason you are not totally thrilled with your program, just return it for a full refund. No questions asked!

***Please note***
The Lung in Detail program you are buying is not an ordinary book, or audio CD, or even a video. It is all three! The four CD program contains audio files that will play in your CD player in your home, car, or portable device; but load the CDs into your computer and you get the video enhancements that will help you really SEE the content. And, of course you get the workbook too; for easy note taking and review.

In your special offer program The Lung in Detail, you will get:

The four video-enhanced CDs:
1. The Lung Revealed
2. Oxygen Delivery and Consumption
3. Common Pulmonary Conditions: How and Why They Upset the Balance
4. Less Common Pulmonary Disorders: Why They Take Your Breath Away

And our 100% total satisfaction guarantee! So there is no risk to you. Just get the program and if it isn’t everything I say it is and more, simply return it for a full refund!
