Clerkship Objectives
- Describe the determinants of cardiac output. Explain the relationship between myocardial oxygen supply and demand and how we can alter each aspect of the relationship perioperatively.
- Define shock and explain how shock can be classified (types and degree). Describe potential treatments for the patient in shock, including the rational use of vasoactive and inotropic medications.
- Prepare the equipment and supplies needed to insert an intravenous in an adult patient.
- Insert an intravenous in a conscious or unconscious adult patient or appropriate simulation device with minimal assistance. Demonstrate ability to determine the proper function of the intravenous line.
- Describe appropriate uses for the following crystalloid solutions: normal saline, Ringer's lactate, D5W, D5W/NS. Describe appropriate uses of the colloid solutions albumin and Pentaspan. Explain the complications of using these fluids.
- Replace crystalloid solutions demonstrating sterile techniques and ability to maintain line without air.
