One of the most common is the development of acute respiratory failure, ALI and ARDS. Early identification of the development of these conditions and early recognition with interventions to improve tissue oxygenation are related to improved outcomes in the critically ill and injured patient. This session will discuss ALI and ARDS, including the difference between them, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms and nursing implications. Beyond Old Olympus: Neurologic Assessment Nancy Townsend RN, MN, APRNC, CCNS, CCRN No neuron trivia, no mnemonics, no arcane anatomy. Instead, this session presents tips for practical, rapid and thorough neurologic assessment. When and in whom does cranial nerve function need to be assessed? Reflexes? Neurologic vital sign techniques and significance as well as mental status examination and appropriate charting and terminology are described along with the significance of abnormal findings. Is the Glasgow Coma Scale useful and in what setting? What are the signs of impending herniation syndrome? What nursing measures are routine and which are reserved for life-threatening emergencies?

Improved outcomes for the critically ill patient are associated with early identification of patients at risk and interventions to improve tissue oxygenation. During this session, the relationship between blood transfusions and positive-pressure ventilation will be described and the pathophysiology, diagnosis and management of these complications will be discussed. Nosocomial Renal Failure Nancy Townsend RN, MN, APRNC, CCNS, CCRN This session focuses on pathophysiology of acute renal failure in the critically ill patient, the risk factors, identification of the patient at high risk and the strategies to prevent the occurrence of acute renal failure including radio-contrast nephropathy. Acute renal failure as the common second step in the development of multi-system organ failure is also considered along with the nurse s role in halting the progression of this often fatal syndrome before the condition becomes irreversible. The presentation concludes with a brief comparison of dialysis methods and other treatments and their outcomes.
