WEBINAR DESCRIPTION
Take the ‘eek!’ Out of EKG’s
We’ve all had this nightmare before - a patient is rushed in, unable to breathe. Is it heart failure or asthma? Do they need a diuretic or a steroid? An antibiotic or a chest tap? Better decide quick! They’re dying!
This workshop is designed to help you confidently navigate exactly this situation. Led by a team of celebrated cardiologists and internists, this course will teach us to readily differentiate cardiac from respiratory disease.
Over two days, we’ll study patient-side ultrasound, collapsing trachea, pulmonary hypertension, megaesophagus, pneumonia and more. Practice EKG interpretation with a review of the basics and rapid-fire quizzing. We’ll get your heart racing with coughing case rounds, and leave you excited for your next ‘trouble breathing’ patient!
Hurry and register today! Fast typing counts as cardio.
