Enhanced Digital Content
Use this learning space in two ways. As an online course, scroll down and enter the online learning space. Explore each section below, or use the navigation tool to go directly to the content you’re interested in. Then, use this enhanced digital content in one of our pop-up physical spaces for hands-on procedure training, skills challenges, and expert coaching.
EVIDENCE-BASED
Nearly 25% of patients who are hemodynamically stable prior to intubation get post-intubation hypotension (PIH) after rapid sequence intubation. The Shock Index (SI) is easy to calculate and shown to be a strong predictor PIH.
