This is a step-by-step description of a management plan for a breathless HIV+ (human immunodeficiency virus) patient.
Hormonal and Metabolic Regulation of Cardiac Function
Natasha Lawrence and Stephen Webb
0.5 Hours
This session provides an outline of the key hormonal and metabolic factors that regulate cardiac function.
Initial Management of Hand Burns
Helen Wohlgemut and Nadeem Khwaja
0.5 Hours
This session will describe how to reduce oedema in burns of the hand and offers guidance on how to assess the need for early surgery in patients with such injuries. Later sections will explore the principles of early surgery in burns of the hand.
Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Baha Al-Shaikh
0.5 Hours
Continuous ECG monitoring is widely used inside and outside the hospital to monitor the electrical activity of the myocardium. This session provides an overview of ECG monitoring and functionality, and examines the issues that might affect and interfere with its measurement.
Laboratory Testing and Pre-operative Imaging
Ridzuan Farouk
0.5 Hours
This session outlines the rationale for selective pre-operative investigations. Suggested tests based on the age and fitness of the patient, combined with the nature and severity of their surgery, are described.
Effective Exodontia
Atheer Ujam
0.5 Hours
This session will help to apply knowledge of tooth anatomy and root morphology to achieve effective tooth exodontia. Furthermore, an understanding of the surgical instruments used in exodontia and how to apply them in each clinical case is discussed.
Inhalational Anaesthetic Agents
Tom Peck
0.5 Hours
This session introduces the pharmacology of two commonly used volatile agents and nitrous oxide. The key concepts of minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) and the blood:gas solubility coefficient are discussed.
Intravenous Induction Agents (anaesthesia)
Sue Hill
0.5 Hours
This session introduces the novice anaesthetist to three of the commonly used intravenous induction agents: propofol, thiopental and etomidate.
Gases and Vapours (anaesthesia)
William Boaden
0.50 Hours
This session provides an outline of the gas laws that govern the behaviour of gases found in anaesthesia.
Additional Tests
Bryony Strachan
0.5 Hours
This session describes the value and role of additional intrapartum tests including fetal blood sampling, fetal ECG and fetal stimulation testing.
Disorders of the Gastro-intestinal Tract
Andrew Healey, Ahmed Al-Bahrani
0.5 Hours
This session will give you an understanding of basic anatomy, function, physiology and pathology of the gastrointestinal tract (GI) tract. It will discuss common conditions which can become chronic and can present with oral symptoms and signs.
Gathering Information
Connie Wiskin
0.5 Hours
This session considers what is required to gather good quality, relevant information during the consultation.
Clinical Pathways: Ensuring the Right Patients Get the Right Care - Webinar
Dr Angus Ritchie
Using a structured renal pathway document to keep patients on the right track with the right care
Infusion Therapy
Mr Hamza Shehade Rn, BSc, MSc, Staff Development Coordinator and Clinical Educator
Training material about Infusion Therapy, that allow student, nurses, and educators to excel in knowledge about "Infusion Therapy" and best practices according to international guidelines, and evidenced based practice.
Fistula Care
Mr Hamza Shehade Rn, BSc, MSc, Staff Development Coordinator and Clinical Educator
The purpose of this training material is to educate dialysis unit staff on how to care for the Arterio-Venous Fistula (AVF).
Gases and Vapours
Harriet Wood and Derek Randles
0.5 Hours
This session covers the concepts of vapours and saturated vapour pressure, and explains the principles of latent heat, adiabatic change and isothermal change.
Newtonian Mechanics
Elke Kothmann and Kaye Cantlay
0.5 Hours
The aim of this session is to consider the concepts of force and mass and to introduce Newton’s three laws of motion.
Gases in Solution
Rahul Bajekal
0.5 Hours
This session looks at some physical principles behind gas solubility and their clinical applications.
Emergency and Transport Ventilators
David Baker
0.5 Hours
This session defines emergency and transport ventilation and looks at the features of the ventilators used in these situations.
Modelling with Mathematics: Examination of Model
Steven Cruickshank
0.5 Hours
This session builds upon the model in the previous session, and introduces a graphical approach to input-output problems. A graphical depiction allows visualization of simultaneous variation of CO2 and alveolar ventilation in the model. This is extended to an example from the physical sciences.
