Advances in neuromuscular blockade reversal |
 |
|
| This Asklepios CME course is a self-directed learning activity designed for anaesthetists, GP anaesthetists and anaesthetic nurses. The course highlights the unmet need in current reversal practice, the limitations of agents currently used for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade, and recent advances in the field of neuromuscular blockade reversal. The course has been reviewed by a panel of experts in anaesthesia and has been accredited by the ANZCA CPD Program, RACGP QA&CPD Program, ACRRM PD Program and is endorsed by the RCNA 3L Program (3LP). Anaesthesia: advances in neuromuscular blockade reversal is your opportunity to revise your knowledge of agents currently used for reversal of neuromuscular blockade and their limitations. This module will also review the key clinical evidence for the efficacy and safety of the novel cyclodextrin, sugammadex, in reversing neuromuscular blockade induced by the neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) rocuronium and vecuronium, whilst also differentiating indications for sugammadex use in anaesthetic practice.

Both files below have identical content. The top file is a plain PDF without interactivity (smaller file-size, good for printing). The bottom file is an interactive PDF which contains navigation functions and a short movie (slightly larger file-size, you can also print this version), you will need Adobe Acrobat version 9 to view this file. You can download version 9 for free.  | |||

Burns, cuts, jabs and skin lesions: topical and local anaesthesia for general practice CME course |
|
|
The Burns, cuts, jabs and skin lesions: topical and local anaesthesia for general practice CME course is a self-directed learning guide designed for GPs and practice nurses that highlights the clinical applications of topical and local anaesthetics in community practice. This CME activity has been reviewed by an expert in GP anaesthesia and has been accredited by the RACGP and ACRRM for Anaesthesia points. The Burns, cuts, jabs and skin lesions: topical and local anaesthesia for general practice CME is your opportunity to revise your knowledge of the pathophysiology of pain and the mechanism of action of local anaesthetics, and update your skills in the use of local anaesthetics for topical anaesthesia, local infiltration and peripheral nerve blocks.
