Nutrition Service Lecture on Wed Aug 1st, 2007 July 30, 2007
Posted by Dr. Birdi in : Basic Management Conference, CCF, Resources , 1 comment so farPlease attend the lecture on Nutrition to be given on Wednesday, Aug 1 in the G5’s KIVA conference room at 12 noon. This will be an excellent overview of the TPN service and an introduction to writing TPN orders in the ICU. Metabolic and caloric requirements along with daily electrolyte and mineral supplementation will be discussed. Even if you have heard it before, this should be nice way to refresh your memory. This conference is mandatory for the interns and residents rotating through the SICU rotation. However, all are welcome to attend. Please arrive early as space is limited.
Basic Management Conferences - Bioethics July 16, 2007
Posted by Dr. Birdi in : Basic Management Conference, CCF, Resources , add a commentDr. Martin L. Smith (Dept. of Bioethics CCF) led a thought provoking discussion on the controversial and sometimes very difficul issues dealing with end of life care and decision making abilities in the ICU. Several of the patients in the ICU are unable to make the decisions for themselves and it is up to the physician, family, friend or DPOA to make the decision on behalf of the patient and in the patient’s best interest. This can turn out to be quite a complicated path because as Dr. Smith reveas in his presentation, sometimes no one can clearly tell what the patient would have wanted if he/she were in their current position. Issues of family wishes, moral, legal and religious obligations can quickly bring us into merky water. Enjoy the presentation and please feel free to comment below.
