Cheetah Medical, a Boston-based provider in non-invasive fluid management, is offering educational sessions and a preview of the company’s new Virtual Trainer app at the 2019 National Teaching Institute (NTI) & Critical Care Exposition annual meeting, May 20-23 in Orlando, Fl.

Cheetah Medical’s new Virtual Trainer app operates on iPad and provides educational modules focused on the importance of optimizing fluid management for critically ill patients. The app also has a patient simulation experience where users can test their knowledge in the safety of a virtual critical care environment and learn how to use Cheetah’s Starling SV monitoring system to effectively guide a treatment path.

As part of NTI’s ExpoEd, Cheetah Medial will support a series of 30-minute educational sessions that focus on the importance of implementing nurse driven protocols and education for dynamic assessment and fluid management in sepsis. Each session awards 0.5 continuing education recognition points (CERPs). These sessions include:

·   Develop a Successful Sepsis Program: Before and After, facilitated by Teresa M Jones, RN, MSN, CCRN-K

·   SEP-1 and Fluid Management, facilitated by Annie Stedman, BSN, RN, CEN

“Sepsis is among the most common causes of death in the hospital setting,” said Teresa Jones RN, MSN, CCRN-K, Director of Critical Care at Cookeville Regional Med Center, in the release. “As clinicians, it is crucial to have the education and training to properly recognize and respond to sepsis and septic shock.”
