Course Details
This 4 week tutored course will guide the candidates through the complexities of multiparameter monitoring. After completion of the course, candidates will better understand the effects of anaesthesia on the patient and causes of abnormalities encountered while monitoring anaesthetised patients. They will be able to use hands-on techniques and the multiparameter monitor to detect problems before they become serious, and to differentiate between artefacts and real patient issues to improve the safety of their patients.
Week 1
What are we monitoring and why?
What anaesthesia does to the patient and what we can do about it
Monitoring depth of anaesthesia
Temperature monitoring
Learning outcomes
Understand why good monitoring is essential for safe anaesthesia
Understand the challenges of monitoring depth of anaesthesia
Appreciate the importance of monitoring body temperature and the consequences of hypo- and hyperthermia
Week 2
Monitoring the respiratory system
Capnography
Pulse oximetry
Learning outcomes
Understand the physiology involved in the formation of the capnograph trace
Interpret normal and abnormal capnograph traces
Understand the physiology behind pulse oximetry, and its limitations
Confidently troubleshoot abnormal capnography traces and pulse-oximetry readings
Week 3
Monitoring the cardiovascular system
Physiology of heart rate and blood pressure control
The electrocardiogram
Blood pressure monitoring
Learning outcomes
Understand the causes of heart rate and blood pressure changes during anaesthesia
Describe how the electrocardiogram is generated
Interpret the electrocardiogram
Understand the different techniques for measuring blood pressure
Interpret blood pressure readings and understand causes of inaccurate readings
Week 4
Blood gas monitoring
Glucose monitoring and other tests
Monitor-related artefacts and technical problems
Learning outcomes
Understand when blood gas analysis is useful
Interpret blood gas analyses in the light of the patient’s history and clinical problems
Decide when glucose monitoring and other tests during anaesthesia are important
Troubleshoot monitor-related issues
The course will be fully tutored by Colette Jolliffe, and will consist of 10 hours of CPD given in various formats, including tutorials, tasks, case studies, forum discussions and quizzes.
Time
January 10 (Monday) 9:00 am - February 4 (Friday) 5:00 pm
