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.

What's New in Acute Stroke Care

What Nurses Need to Know to Avoid Complications

The key to effective stroke care is early recognition and treatment. During this web-based seminar (webinar), you will learn how to pinpoint an area of brain injury and understand the associated neurological deficits. With an increased understanding of pathophysiology of embolic and thrombotic strokes as well as subarachnoid and intracerebral hemorrhages, you will be able to identify impending changes in your patients. Discussion of subtle neurological changes will help to determine the most appropriate evidence-based interventions for your patient.

In "What's New in Acute Stroke Care" you will learn to:

  • Distinguish between stroke and non-stroke causes for neurological dysfunction.
  • Evaluate neurological status using the “5-point neuro check.”
  • Compare and contrast various diagnostic tests for acute stroke.
  • Describe the strategies to decrease risk for stroke.
  • Specify the pros and cons of cutting-edge treatment modalities.
  • Plan care for stroke patients using the latest guidelines from the American Stroke Association.

In this web-based seminar (webinar) many questions will be answered; questions such as:

  • What causes TIAs?
  • Who has a stroke?
  • How can you tell that your patient is at risk?
  • And many more will be answered.

To learn more about what stroke means to your patient care, how stroke teams help improve patient care, and what cutting-edge strategies are now available to identify and treat stroke, then plan to get "What's New in Acute Stroke Care."
