Pulp Non Fiction: Pharmacology and Arrhythmia for the Sim Tech
by Rami Leventhal
This presentation investigates core knowledge of common medications used during simulations including the expected and unexpected responses required of the simulator.
After completing this course participants will be able to:
• Discuss common medications and the response of the simulator used in medical and trauma simulations. Recognize the relationship between the identified cardiac arrhythmia and associated code medications
• Describe the physiological effects of common medications used during a simulation for intubation(RSI)
• Describe the causes of 2 common cardiac arrhythmias and desired treatment
• Identify cardiac arrhythmias used in simulation and adjust simulator software accordingly.
• Demonstrate understanding of physiological changes caused by cardiac arrhythmias.
