In this online CME program, internationally recognized leaders present a multi-faceted approach to care of one of the most challenging patients: the critically-ill acute trauma patient. Interventional Radiology and Surgical Management of the Trauma Patient focuses on current endovascular and interventional techniques and state-of-the art equipment used to perform life-saving procedures by both interventional radiologists and trauma surgeons.
Earn CME credits with lectures covering embolization, balloon occlusion, stent and stent-graft placement, and other downstream interventions. You get interventional radiology CME that covers all major topics in the global treatment of trauma, including:
- exam choice and accurate diagnosis
- arterial and venous injuries
- solid organ trauma
- pelvic trauma
- firearm injuries
- acute brain trauma
- sepsis and infection control
