Date of the activity’s original release: August 16, 2023
Termination date: August 17, 2026
Goal:
For over 45 years the UHMS has been the primary source of information for hyperbaric medicine and physiology worldwide. This evidence based, peer-reviewed scientific journal-based CME has as its goal to address identified professional practice gaps and provide a quality CME opportunity which will improve scientific knowledge and skills for undersea, hyperbaric and wound care physicians, nurses and technicians, and other clinicians and personnel whose practice includes undersea, hyperbaric medicine and wound care.
Objectives:
- To understand how Doppler ultrasound measurements are taken to assess venous gas emboli (VGE) in scuba divers.
- To understand how Doppler ultrasound measurements are analyzed and related to decompression sickness (DCS) risk.
- Understand the pathophysiology of soft tissue radionecrosis.
- Understand the mechanisms by which hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) improves radionecrotic changes and promotes tissue healing.
