HISTORY, SCENIC SITES, BEACHES! |
|
| When you cross the bridge from the mainland to Cape Cod, something happens: there is a rush of excitement, a stirring of the soul, a small but perceptible click that signals release from the outside world left behind. Situated on the Southwest side of Cape Cod, Falmouth, Massachusetts presents the ideal place to meet. About halfway between Boston & the tip of the Cape, Falmouth makes the perfect base for exploring the area. Visit Woods Hole, home of the National Marine Fisheries Aquarium and the Oceanographic Institute. From here ferries depart to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Don't miss whale watching. Get up close to these magnificent animals and be awed by their size and playfulness. Visit Hyannis and Hyannisport, site of the Kennedy Compound. With a car, all of the Cape is within your grasp; quaint and historical towns, large harbors and numerous restaurants serving bountiful plates of steaming seafood. Fishing charters are available as are sailing and motorboating. Spend the afternoon on the beach or go fishing. Enjoy nearby Sandwich, the oldest Cape town, established in 1637. The picturesque town center features lovely shops and museums. Some of the places you'll want to visit include the Sandwich Glass Museum, which houses a beautiful collection of unique glassware made between 1825 and 1860; the Hoxie House, a step back into colonial times; and the Doll Museum. Children love going to the home of Peter Rabbit and the Briar Patch at the Thornton Burgess Museum. The Heritage Plantation, with its antique carousel and cars, wonderful gardens, and summer concerts is also here. On the Cape the choices are limited only by your imagination & time! | |

TARGET AUDIENCE: This course is designed for Physicians, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, Registered Nurses, Physician Assistants, and other medical care providers who need to obtain or update EKG interpretation skills and documentation.
PROGRAM PURPOSE: Due to the inherent knowledge, skills, practice locations, and populations of patients served by practitioners of anesthesiology and/or emergency and critical care medicine, the physicians, nurses, and other such advanced care providers are summoned to interpret the EKG reading and often treat the underlying dysryhthmia. This program is designed to update these practitioners with the latest information on this body of scientific information.
OBJECTIVES:
At the conclusion of this program, the participant will be able to:
Review the 12-lead system, the normal morphology of the waveforms,
and options for lead placement.
Define the criteria for assessing evidence of ischemia, injury, or infarction, including the limitations of the EKG.
Review the classic placement of chest leads and discuss legitimate variations available in consideration of the surgical field.
Apply the criteria for the diagnosis of the following arrhythmias: sinus bradycardia, sinus tachycardia, sinus arrhythmia, atrial tachycardia, premature atrial contractions, atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation.
Explain the treatment guidelines for SA and atrial dysrhythmias.
Apply the criteria for the diagnosis of the following arrhythmias: nodal rhythms, supraventricular beats with aberrant conduction, first degree heart block, second degree heart block (Mobitz I & II), third degree heart block, and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW).
Discuss the treatment of AV Nodal arrhythmias and conduction defects.
Apply the criteria for the diagnosis of the following arrhythmias: premature junctional contractions, premature ventricular contractions, ventricular tachycardia, torsade de pointes, and ventricular fibrillation.
Discuss the recommended treatment for ventricular dysrhythmias.
Diagnose faculty-presented rhythm strips, reviewing the criteria by which each was identified.
Clarify the material presented throughout the day through questions and answers and discuss participants' concerns for application in their own clinical settings.
