Target Audience: Any hospitalist physician or advanced practice provider who manages patients in an intensive care unit (ICU).
Overview:
Many hospitalists provide critical care services without adequate support or training, putting patients at risk and exposing hospitalists to medical liability. This educational series covers common or high-risk clinical scenarios that hospitalists encounter in and out of the intensive care unit.
Learning Objectives:
After completing the Critical Care for the Hospitalist series, the participant should be able to:
• Recognize patients at high risk of decompensation and how to intervene early to prevent decompensation.
• Focus on physiology and pathophysiology to understand the disease process and how interventions are intended to correct these pathophysiological mechanisms.
• Discern commonly encountered critical care scenarios/pathology: Airway management, Non-Invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation, Tachyarrythmias, Pulmonary Embolism, and Intra-cranial hemorrhage. The intent is to continue this lecture series with other commonly encountered critical care scenarios.
• Formulate and implement a treatment strategy in a timely manner for those commonly encountered critical care pathologies in a timely manner based on current evidence and guidelines (when available).
• Decide when to call for help and what service/support to request.
