Conference Synopsis
This conference will look at the care of the deteriorating patient using a ‘case history approach’, learning from past coronial and published cases. We do not look at such cases to scoff, but rather to see where greater understanding and learnings can be achieved to assist in safer patient care.
Conference Learning Outcomes
At this conference, you will:
- Explore the overall coronial process.
- Learn about real cases of different types of patient deterioration to enhance procedural knowledge. Procedural knowledge may be defined as the knowledge we use to act, encompassing skills, techniques, and the ability to secure goals within the working environment.
- Understand the importance of a firm process of escalation of care in your institution,
- Increase your knowledge of the overall care of the deteriorating patient.
You Will Also Learn
This conference will provide learnings from deteriorating patients including but not limited to:
- Airway management,
- Respiratory compromise,
- Cardiovascular collapse,
- Medication error,
- Anaphylaxis,
