Activity Summary
Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes
Early, aggressive goal-directed resuscitation improves outcomes. Many strategies use lactate, ScvO2, and dynamic measures of preload as endpoints to reflect improving tissue oxygenation and perfusion. Lactate and ScvO2 allow for identification of global tissue hypoxia. Dynamic measures of preload predict fluid responsiveness. This session challenges experienced critical care practitioners to explore the use of these additional therapeutic endpoints during resuscitation.Objectives
- Explain the clinical application of lactate and ScvO2 monitoring as strategies to assess underlying global tissue hypoxia.
- Identify dynamic measures of preload responsiveness.
- Summarize a goal-directed approach for management using lactate, ScvO2 and dynamic measurement of preload responsiveness.
