Description
Antiarrhythmic Drugs
Management of Supraventricular Arrhythmias
Management of Ventricular Arrhythmias
The Advanced Critical Care Therapeutic courseprovides in-depth advanced instruction concerning the pharmacotherapeutic management of commonly encountered critical care diseases. Emphasis is placed on the efficacy, safety, and comparative value of drug therapy in this highly specialized practice area. Didactic knowledge of physiology, pharmacology, and drug therapy management is applied to disease states specific to this population. Didactic instruction is combined with practice case studies and interactive discussions concerning critical care pharmacy-related issues. Participants may download materials.
Objectives
Antiarrhythmic Drugs: On completion of the course the learner will be able to:
-Know the Vaughn-Williams classification of the antiarrhythmic drugs.-Be able to describe the effects of the antiarrhythmic drugs on the surface ECG.
-Be able to describe the pharmacokinetics of the antiarrhythmic drugs.
-Be able to describe the cardiac and non-cardiac side effects of the antiarrhythmic drugs.
-Be able to describe the relative therapeutic differences between amiodarone and dronedarone
Management of Supraventricular arrythmias: On completion of the course the learner will be able to:
