OVERVIEW
Topics in Cardiology and Emergency Medicine is organized by University at Sea and will be held during Dec 16 - 23, 2017 at 7-Night Eastern Caribbean Cruise Conference, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is Primary Care Physicians, Internists, Physician Assistants, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 14.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Objectives:
• Resuscitation Update 2017
? Describe developments in targeted temperature management in the cardiac arrest patient.
? Identify new guidelines for medication use in the cardiac arrested patient. List more invasive practices proposed in the effort to increase patient survival.
• Toxicology Updates and Rapid killers
? List antidotes currently recommended for specific ingestions and overdoses.
? Define guidelines for transplant referral and for dialysis after poisoning.
• Syncope
? Appraise cost-effective strategies in the evaluation of the patient who has lost consciousness.
? Name interventions which have value in the evaluation of the patient with near-syncope.
• Procedural Sedation
? Name agents used to provide sedation for procedures, and list their potential complications.
? Differentiate agents based upon their side effects and desired usage in selected patients.
• Issues in pediatric fever management
? Recognize testing and signs of the child with a serious bacterial infection.
? Describe potential advances in the evaluation of the febrile infant.
• Event Medicine
? Indicate challenges with the practice of medicine outside of traditional health care settings and large crowds.
? List likely complaints by type of event an by type of likely spectators.
• Airway and Rapid Sequence Intubation
? Name agents useful in the sedation and paralysis of the patient is urgent need of airway support.
? Identify barriers to smooth airway management.
• Evaluation of Acute Chest Pain
? Accurately assess and diagnose life-threatening causes of acute chest pain.
• New Antiplatelet Agents for Acute Coronary Syndrome

• New Anticoagulants for Atrial Fibrillation
? There are now four new oral anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation.
? There is often confusion regarding appropriate patient selection.
• Case Review of ECGs
? Accurately diagnose cardiac and noncardiac problems based on the ECG.
• Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
? Assess which patients would be potential candidates for transcatheter aortic valve replacement surgery.
• What's New in the Hypertension Guidelines
