Critical Limb Ischemia and Vascular Introductory Course is organized by American Professional Wound Care Association (APWCA) and will be held during Jun 01, 2016 - Jun 01, 2018.
The target audience for this medical event is Physicians (MD, DO) Vascular, General, Orthopaedic and Plastic Surgery, Vascular Medicine, Interventional Radiology and Cardiology, Podiatry, Wound Care, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine and RNs, NPs and PAs affiliated with any of the above specialties (Vascular, General, Orthopaedic and Plastic Surgery, Vas-cular Medicine, Interventional Radiology and Cardiology, Podiatry, W. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 7.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
The Critical Limb Ischemia & Vascular Introductory Course provides a comprehensive overview to the evaluation and management of patients presenting with critical limb ischemia. An expert faculty will review the epidemiology of critical limb ischemia, case studies, and current literature. Additional lectures will present recommendations for patient assessment and management.
Noninvasive and invasive vascular tissue perfusion assessment, endovascular and surgical techniques for improving distal lower extremity blood flow, options for local wound care to optimize tissue salvage and the integration of hyperbaric oxygen treatment will be reviewed. Case presentations will be used to represent the critical decision steps and management algorithms used to achieve optimal outcomes in the care of these patients.
Topics & Educational Content :
RNs, NPs and PAs affiliated with any of the above specialties (Vascular, General, Orthopaedic and Plastic Surgery, Vascular Medicine, Interventional Radiology and Cardiology, Podiatry, Wound Care, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine and Emergency Medicine)The content of this course includes didactic lectures that provide instruction in the clinical management of peripheral vascular disease. This foundation is then used to construct current management algorithms for optimizing the care of patients with critical limb ischemia. The Critical Limb Ischemia & Vascular Intervention Course is an excellent educational opportunity for all wound care professionals who want to expand their knowledge and excel clinically, as well as an outstanding review for all clinicians with a primary vascular practice focus.
Conference Objectives are :
• Understand Pathogenesis of Arterial Vascular Disease
• Define the Ischemic Limb
• Understand Clinical Non-Invasive Assessment of Arterial Insufficiency
• Describe Endovascular Interventions
• Understand Vascular Surgery
• Understand the Role of Adjunctive Modalities In Limb Salvage
• Determine the Algorithm for Assessment of the Ischemic Limb and Case Presentations
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
