Pulmonary Care Management Training

GSN-International Skills Enhancement and Education Center (ISEEC) invites all Healthcare Providers to attend their workshop entitled:  

“Pulmonary Care Management Training” 3 Days Training with PRC- CPE Units and International Standard  

(Council for Nursing CPE Provider Accreditation # 2009-023)  


One of the more comprehensive lists of pulmonary complications includes fever (due to microatelectasis), cough, dyspnea, bronchospasm, hypoxemia, atelectasis, hypercapnia, adverse reaction to a pulmonary medication, pleural effusion, pneumonia, pneumothorax, and ventilatory failure. Such a broad definition risks including complications that have no clinical significance. Most investigators thus define a postoperative pulmonary complication as an abnormality that produces identifiable disease or dysfunction, is clinically significant, and adversely affects the clinical course.  

Pulmonary Interventions: What Works Best? teaches you how to implement the best interventions for your pulmonary patient.  


Date: September 6-9, 2010 


Note: For those who won't be able to attend the 4-day Pulmonary Care Nursing, we could still facilitate your obtaining the certificate of the said training. The Pulmonary Care Series (1-8) is a succession of lectures, held once a week starting July 23, 2010, that culminates to a 1-day skills competency evaluation. This is designed to accommodate interested participants who are only available on weekends or to those who can't make a leave of absence for a consecutive number of days. 

* You have to enroll all the concepts of the Pulmonary Care Nursing Series to obtain the training certificate for Pulmonary Care Nursing. For more information, please visit us (Unit 502 Pacific Corporate Center 131 West Avenue Quezon City) or call (355-06-15) Venue: Unit 502 Pacific Corporate Center 131 West Avenue Quezon City.

"Pulmonary Care Series 3: Mechanical Ventilation"
with PRC- CPE Units and International Standard

(Council for Nursing CPE Provider Accreditation # 2009-023)


Definition

Mechanical ventilation is the use of a mechanical device (machine) to inflate and deflate the lungs.

Purpose

Mechanical ventilation provides the force needed to deliver air to the lungs in a patient whose own ventilatory abilities are diminished or lost.

Mechanical ventilation is indicated when the patient's spontaneous ventilation is inadequate to sustain life. In addition, it is indicated as a measure to control ventilation in critically ill patients and as prophylaxis for impending collapse of other physiologic functions. Physiologic indications include respiratory or mechanical insufficiency and ineffective gas exchange.

"Pulmonary Care Series 2: Oxygen Therapy and Airway Management"
with PRC- CPE Units and International Standard

(Council for Nursing CPE Provider Accreditation # 2009-023)


Oxygen therapy is the administration of oxygen as a medical intervention, which can be for a variety of purposes in both chronic and acute patient care. Oxygen is essential for cell metabolism, and in turn, tissue oxygenation is essential for all normal physiological functions.


Airway management involves ensuring that the patient has a patent airway through which effective ventilation can take place.

One of the goal of airway management is to provide an artificial airway that is as close to the patient's natural airway as possible. This may mean mechanically performing physiological functions such as humidifying inspired air and removing secretions.

Wound management can challenge the skills and expertise of all healthcare practitioners involved, particularly when patients are at risk for developing wounds and complications while hospitalized. To prevent infection, ensure healing, and manage acute and chronic wounds, caregivers must have access to evidence-based practices and a deep understanding of the principles related to wound care.

Ensuring that your hospital staff is equipped to provide the highest level of wound care requires a comprehensive continuing education program that can be consistently applied across a range of healthcare disciplines, including nursing and physical therapy.

"HEMODIALYSIS, PERITONEAL DIALYSIS AND CONTINUOUS RENAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY: A Comparative view on 3 Alternative Therapy for Renal Disorders "

w/ PRC- CPE Units and International Standards

Definition

Dialysis treatment replaces the function of the kidneys, which normally serve as the body's natural filtration system. Through the use of a blood filter and a chemical solution known as dialysate, the treatment removes waste products and excess fluids from the bloodstream, while maintaining the proper chemical balance of the blood.

Hemodialysis

The treatment involves circulating the patient's blood outside of the body through an extracorporeal circuit (ECC), or dialysis circuit.

Peritoneal dialysis

In peritoneal dialysis, the patient's peritoneum, or lining of the abdomen, acts as a blood filter. A catheter is surgically inserted into the patient's abdomen. During treatment, the catheter is used to fill the abdominal cavity with dialysate.

Healthcare Management: Effective Team Dynamics in the Healthcare Setting

GSN-International Skills Enhancement and Education Center (ISEEC) invites all nurses to attend their workshop entitled:

"Healthcare Management: Effective Team Dynamics in the Healthcare Setting Workshop" with PRC- CPE Units and International Standards



Effective Team Dynamics

A successful team doesn’t ‘just happen’. It’s rare for a group of individuals to work together without friction, and hoping that everything will simply just click into place when it matters simply isn’t going to work in the longer term. For a team to succeed, they need to continually practice and challenge their collaboration.

Only by constantly improving interactions and looking at the relationships between its members, can real teamwork be achieved. But when it does work, the rewards are significant. In fact, when a team works successfully and efficiently, everyone benefits. When synergy is created between its members, a winning team can truly perform better than the sum of its parts; far more than the individual members are capable of. It shows how to create strong bonds of mutual trust and respect between colleagues.

This will help you to:

* increase the productivity of your team
* establish a common purpose
* assume responsibility and accountability
* improve delegation skills
* develop the potential of people
* improve communication skills
* create mutual trust, support, and collaboration
* develop high-performance teamwork

* Risky Adolescent Behavior

High-risk activities in adolescence—unprotected sex, substance abuse, violence, and other forms of risky behavior—remain a pervasive and costly problem in Western societies, despite extensive efforts to prevent or reduce these activities through intervention programs.

An evolutionary perspective provides a fresh alternative to the mental health model. In particular, risky behaviors might reflect adaptations to harsh environments rather than deviations from optimal development.

The dominant scientific paradigm for explaining these high-risk behaviors can be termed the mental health model, which assumes (implicitly if not explicitly) that harsh social environments adversely affect children’s wellbeing, promoting disturbances in development, even if not clinical disorders per se. This model emphasizes the costs and largely ignores the benefits of risk-taking, making it difficult to explain the motives for risky behavior in adolescents.

As Alzheimer’s patients lose one ability after another, caregivers face tests of stamina, problem-solving, and resiliency. During this long and difficult journey, communication diminishes, rewards decrease, and without strong support, caretakers face challenges to their own well-being.

Maintaining emotional and physical fitness is crucial. Preparing and protecting yourself, working to understand your loved one’s experience, and embracing help from others can minimize the hazards and enhance the joys of your caregiving experience.

Infection Control in Health Care Setting / Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI)

GSN-International Skills Enhancement and Education Center (ISEEC) invites all nurses to attend their workshop entitled:

"Infection Control in Health Care Setting / Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI) Workshop" with 8 PRC- CPE Units and International Standards (U.S. Based)

A hospital-acquired infection is usually one that first appears three days after a patient is admitted to a hospital or other health-care facility.

Infections acquired in a hospital are also called nosocomial infections
Hospital-acquired infections are usually related to a procedure or treatment used to diagnose or treat the patient's illness or injury. About 25% of these infections can be prevented by healthcare workers taking proper precautions when caring for patients.

Hospital-acquired infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites. These microorganisms may already be present in the patient's body or may come from the environment, contaminated hospital equipment, healthcare workers, or other patients. Depending on the causal agents involved, an infection may start in any part of the body. A localized infection is limited to a specific part of the body and has local symptoms. For example, if a surgical wound in the abdomen becomes infected, the area of the wound becomes red, hot, and painful. A generalized infection is one that enters the bloodstream and causes general systemic symptoms such as fever, chills, low blood pressure, or mental confusion.

Hospital-acquired infections may develop from surgical procedures, catheters placed in the urinary tract or blood vessels, or from material from the nose or mouth that is inhaled into the lungs. The most common types of hospital-acquired infections are urinary tract infections (UTIs), pneumonia, and surgical wound infections.
