Glendale, CA / http://www.myprgenie.com / via ACCESSWIRE / Jun 04, 2014 / Audio-Digest Foundation Announces the Release of Anesthesiology Volume 56, Issue 07: Geriatric Care/Case Review.
The goal of this program is to improve anesthesia management in the geriatric patient, and to improve anesthesia safety by applying lessons learned from real cases. After hearing and assimilating this program, the clinician will be better able to:
1. Outline age-associated physiologic changes and their implications for anesthesia.
2. Adjust drug dosages based on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of the elderly.
3. Explain the difference between postoperative delirium and postoperative cognitive dysfunction.
4. Minimize the risk for fires in the operating room.
5. List the primary concerns when providing anesthesia for a patient who is a heart transplant recipient.
The original programs were presented by Joe C. Hong, MD, Assistant Clinical Professor of Anesthesiology, David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Barbara S. Gold, MD, Professor of Anesthesiology, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis.
