Overview
Overview
The goal of this course is to provide an overview of pharmacological options for members of the healthcare team that may treat critical care patients.
Goals and Outcomes
Goals and Learning Outcomes
Many medications are used in the critical care setting for a variety of signs, symptoms, and conditions. A comprehensive assessment of a patient’s clinical status, comorbid conditions, and current medications is necessary before additional interventions are applied, and evidence-based, goal-directed therapy should be implemented. Because critical care pharmacotherapy literature evolves rapidly, practitioners must be vigilant to stay up to date with new guidelines and best practices.

After taking this course, you should be able to:

  • Recognize the role of antiemetics and stress ulcer prophylaxis in critical care.
  • Identify medications used in the pharmacological management of asthma and airway emergencies.
  • Recall indications, common adverse effects, and contraindications for medications used for management of pain, agitation, and delirium in critical care patients.
