Topics and Descriptions

Low Molecular Weight Heparin (LMWH)
Clinical Applications and Monitoring: 

This course will review the background of LMWH preparations, current use and indications and advantages over unfractionated heparin (UFH). Dosing regimens and monitoring tests for measuring the associated therapeutic levels will be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

  • Review advantages of using LMWH for different indications (approved and non-approved) and the positive results from clinical trials
  • List conditions which require monitoring and describe standard laboratory tests for confirming LMWH therapeutic ranges
  • Discuss clot based point of care monitoring tests for LMWH.

This course is presented at an INTERMEDIATE level of instruction. 1 contact hour will be awarded for attendance.

Co-oximetry: One step beyond PaO2: 

This course will review oxygen transport and describe the differences between plasma and hemoglobin oxygen carrying capacity.   Unique pathologies treated in the ER, NICU and cardiac cath lab will illustrate the requirement and clinical utility for measured co-oximetry.  Methodologies used to measure oxygen saturation will be discussed and the significance of fractional vs. functional measurements of oxygen content will be highlighted.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the physiologic mechanisms of oxygen transport

  • Identify clinical applications for co-oximetry

  • Compare & contrast measured vs. calculated O2 saturation and content.

This course is presented at an INTERMEDIATE level of instruction. 1.5 contact hours will be awarded for attendance.
