Preventing Hospital Acquired Complications
Help minimize your risks of costly and distressing complications, the preventable complications that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) no longer reimburse. GE Healthcare’s new innovative web-based educational program, Preventing Hospital Acquired Complications, focuses on improving processes to recognize and avoid:
Pressure ulcers, ABO incompatibility, Venous air embolism, Urinary tract infection, Falls from bed, Catheter associated blood stream infection, Mediastinitis following coronary artery bypass grafting, and Objects left in patients following surgery.
Using evidence-based practices, case simulations take learners through real-world situations, allowing for virtual hands-on learning and testing.

New Cardiac Vital Sign, Assess and Manage Stroke Volume
Measure, monitor and treat. Enhance your clinical practice and optimize patient care virtually anywhere non-invasive and invasive technologies are used. ED, ICU, OB, Pediatrics, Telemetry, PACU, Pre-hospital, Cathlabs, Cardiac Care, MICU and SICU all benefit from understanding and using stroke volume measurement as a tool for more proactive care.

Managing Pulmonary Situations, Better, Safer and Easier than Ever
Review capnography, pulse oximetry and blood gas analysis, examining the physiology that allows exhaled CO2 to monitor ventilation and perfusion for better patient management and treatment.

StO2 Monitoring Tissue Oxygenation
This innovative web-based education program reviews the newest technique to monitor tissue oxygenation (StO2), along with lactate incorporation. Recognizing, measuring and managing the current status of patient tissue oxygenation may help practicing clinicians improve patient outcomes. Methods of measurement are presented, describing why StO2 monitoring could be used on acute and critically ill patients and how StO2 optimization may positively impact their care.
The limitations of physical assessment and pulse oximetry to assess oxygenation are also reviewed. All content is presented in real-world case scenarios for clinicians to virtually experience patient assessment and therapy.
