Non-Cardiac Issues in the Cardiac Patient: Endocrine, Neurological, Gastrointestinal - VIDEO
Cardiac patients are at risk for non-cardiac conditions that add to the challenges and complexities of patient care.  This 60-minute webinar will take a closer look at the endocrine issues of Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic Nonketotic Syndrome (HHNS), the neurological disaster of ischemic stroke, and the gastrointestinal conditions of peptic ulcer disease and hemorrhage. Learning how to appreciate how all the body systems are closely connected will help you understand the complexity and vulnerability of your critically ill patients.
