Preventing Surgical Complications Conference is organized by Ausmed Education Pty Ltd and will be held from Feb 25 - 26, 2019 at Oaks on Collins, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The target audience for this medical event is Nurses. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 11.00 CPD Hours.

Conference Overview:
Attend this event to ensure you are well-informed about how to prevent a raft of potential surgical complications from occurring. Understand why things go wrong, how to recognise and respond to warning signs early, and how to prevent the need for a patient to return to theatre. Learn about:
• Fluid and electrolyte changes - why they must not be overlooked
• Managing acute delirium
• Causes of cardiac, respiratory, and renal complications
• How to assess for signs of acute stroke
• Diabetes management before and after surgery
• Preventing healthcare-associated infections

Need for Program:
There are inherent risks associated with any surgical procedure. Preventing costly surgical complications, such as an unplanned return to theatre or an escalation of care to critical care environments, is a key priority after any procedure. The provision of care that is underpinned by best practice is known to reduce the likelihood of hospital-acquired complications. There is a timely need for nurses to gain key updates on how to detect and respond early to potential surgical complications if patient harm is to be minimised.

Purpose of Program:
The purpose of this conference is to provide key updates on how to detect and manage potential surgical complications so as to reduce patient harm and improve patient safety.

Learning Objectives:
• Be better able to recognise high-risk individuals before harm occurs
• Utilise sharpened assessment skills to assist in responding to signs of clinical deterioration more rapidly
• Reduce the pain and discomfort experienced by patients as a result of an unplanned return to theatre
• Utilise communication and collaboration across the surgical journey to support the provision of comprehensive care

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
