SCCM Resource Library-Thromboembolic Disease: Can Accurate Diagnosis Inform Better Treatments? (Flipped Classroom)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The session titled "Thromboembolic Disease: Can Accurate Diagnosis Inform Better Treatments?" was moderated by Sophia Chu Rogers, a critical care nurse practitioner. The session was conducted in a flipped classroom format, with pre-reading materials provided for attendees to review before the session. The session focused on the challenges in diagnosing thromboembolic disease and reviewed various laboratory assays that can be used to determine coagulation states. Dr. Olukunle Aydogu presented on the use of thromboelastography (TEG) and other laboratory assays in diagnosing and monitoring thromboembolic disease. He discussed the limitations of standard laboratory tests and the advantages of viscoelastic testing. Dr. Jonathan Van Cleave then presented case-based treatment guidelines and discussed the appropriate use of anticoagulants in specific patient scenarios. He highlighted the importance of monitoring and adjusting pharmacological treatment plans and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of different anticoagulant options. Overall, the session provided valuable insights into the diagnosis and treatment of thromboembolic disease in critically ill patients.
