UK HealthCare CECentral Bariatric Emergencies

OVERVIEW
Bariatric Emergencies is organized by UK HealthCare CECentral and will be held during Dec 15, 2014 - Dec 14, 2019.
The target audience for this medical event is All acute care surgeons, emergency room physicians, residents, advanced practitioners, and medical students who provide surgical consultation and urgent care for patients who have had prior bariatric surgery. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Conference Description :
Bariatric surgery use has exploded in the U.S. and worldwide, and now represents one of the most common major abdominal procedures performed by general surgeons. With the increase in the types of bariatric procedures as well as the unique issues related to the care of the morbidly obese patient, bariatric surgery has now evolved as a recognized sub-specialty. Although bariatric specialists typically provide the immediate and early postoperative care of these patients, subsequent care for surgical problems or complications may require urgent or emergent evaluation and intervention by a non-bariatric surgeon.
Acute care surgeons are increasingly called upon to evaluate and manage a variety of complaints or emergencies in patients who have previously undergone bariatric surgery. These complaints or problems may be directly related to the prior bariatric procedure, or may be causally unrelated but complicated by the presence of the altered bariatric anatomy, morbid obesity, or obesity-related conditions. Therefore the acute care surgeon (or team member) must be familiar with the commonly performed bariatric procedures, the anatomic details of each procedure, and the evaluation and management of common urgent or emergent problems that can develop in this patient cohort.
Conference Objectives :
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
• Identify the surgical anatomy of the three most commonly performed bariatric procedures in the U.S. • List at least two emergent surgical complications that can develop following each type of bariatric procedure.
• Identify at least 3 strengths and 3 weaknesses of CT imaging for identifying emergent surgical problems in the post- bariatric surgery patient.
• Discuss the indications for operative versus nonoperative management of a postoperative leak after a sleeve gastrectomy and a gastric bypass.
• Compare the management options for a common bile duct stone in a patient with a history of a prior sleeve gastrectomy versus a prior gastric bypass.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
