Examination and treatment of the cardiovascular and pulmonary patients

Course overview

Assessing heart and lung health is crucial for patients with lymphedema and wounds because these systems help to properly deliver blood and oxygen throughout the body, which is vital for repairing tissues and healing wounds. By identifying and providing effective cardiovascular and pulmonary interventions to any heart or lung problems, healthcare providers can greatly improve recovery times and decrease the risk of further issues for patients with these complex health conditions. Join us for this hands on course designed to assess heart and lungs sounds and health to better your patient outcomes. This course will go through the spectrum of cardiovascular and pulmonary (CVP) patient management from knowledge to hands-on treatment. Common CVP pathologies will be reviewed, and through teleconference, skills training on various CVP examination and intervention procedures will be conducted. Areas of hands-on skills training include CVP dysfunction assessment including heart and lung auscultation, palpation, breathing patterns, vascular testing, and chest wall expansion. In addition, this hands-on workshop will incorporate various cardiovascular and pulmonary interventions including airway clearance techniques, breathing strategies and safe prescription of aerobic exercises, while maintaining patient safety and effectively monitoring physiological vital signs. Complex CVP patient case studies will be utilized to reinforce didactic and manual techniques to improving clinical decision making to best optimize patient outcomes.
