PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A 2-DAY COURSE BEING HELD VIA LIVE VIDEO CONFERENCE, June 4 & 5, 2022 FROM 10-5 pm Eastern Standard Time. Includes 12-hours of live video conferencing and 4-hours of pre-recorded content.
Course Description: This course provides an up to date and in-depth review of cardiovascular and pulmonary (CVP) pathophysiology for the commonly seen CVP diagnoses. Clinicians will understand how to determine and recognize severity of disease and how that impacts Physical Therapy (PT) interventions. Participants will learn how to read and understand common CVP diagnostic tests and labs including why tests are performed, how to interpret these tests and how to apply results to your PT interventions. You will acquire treatment approaches for adult CVP patients including primary and secondary prevention for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), breathing exercises and airway clearance techniques, mobilization interventions for patient with CVP diseases including how, what and when to monitor hemodynamically during PT interventions. Participants will learn how to and why they should administer exercise tests, be able to select the appropriate test and then design an exercise prescription based on the results. This course also provides a comprehensive study of how CVP outcome measures can be utilized in the acute care setting to assist with case management, discharge recommendations, assessment of deficits, and progression of the treatment plan. Content is based on evidence and clinical tips and case studies will be assimilated into course material to allow direct application to daily patient care experiences.
