High-flow Nasal Canula

Breathe easier: master evidence-based High-Flow Nasal Cannula to deliver oxygen via heated, humidified support to ease work of breathing, wash out dead space, and add gentle PEEP. Use HFNC for hypoxemic failure, high-risk and peri-intubation care; titrate flow and FiO2. Compare with masks and NIPPV. Monitor ROX trends and bedside signs, wean deliberately, and escalate when aerosol or CO2‑retention risks surface to improve comfort and reduce intubation.

Accreditation Statement
The Society of Hospital Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

CME Credit Statement
The Society of Hospital Medicine designates this enduring material for a maximum of 0.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)^TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

MOC Credit Statement
Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to 0.50 MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. Participants will earn MOC points equivalent to the amount of CME credits claimed for the activity. It is the CME activity provider's responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.

Unstable Tachyarrhythmias for the Hospitalist

Signals blur when tachyarrhythmias destabilize a patient—make them readable. In this focused course for hospitalists, you’ll differentiate aberrancy from true ventricular rhythms, understand how accessory pathways shape conduction, and describe mechanisms with precise, shared terms. We standardize language across patterns so teams synthesize findings faster and improve decision-making at the bedside.

Airway Management for the Hospitalist

Seconds matter when an airway is drifting toward trouble. Learn to recognize bedside red flags, anticipate deterioration, and identify when low reserve calls for earlier, controlled airway management. Build a structured risk picture, think physiology-first, intervene before the red line, and execute safe team actions and temporizing measures. For hospitalists at the front line, this pragmatic playbook sharpens judgment and elevates outcomes.

Mechanical Ventilation Part I: The Basics

Breath-by-breath, translate physiology into action as you initiate and optimize invasive ventilation with confidence. In sharp, case-based sessions, analyze mechanics, design safe settings, and oxygenate and ventilate while safeguarding hemodynamics and the right ventricle. Apply the framework to sepsis and COPD to problem-solve in real time and stabilize patients, elevating bedside judgment and reducing harm.

Critical Care for the Hospitalist Series

Many hospitalists provide critical care services without adequate support or training, putting patients at risk and exposing hospitalists to medical liability. This educational series covers common or high-risk clinical scenarios that hospitalists encounter in and out of the intensive care unit.

Critical Care of Patients with Liver Disease

When MELD-Na tops 30, will you spot danger and act fast? This case-driven video equips hospital clinicians to recognize decompensation, stage hepatitis vs cirrhosis, and triage transfers with crisp, bedside algorithms. You’ll treat encephalopathy without oversedation, run the variceal bundle, prevent AKI/HRS, and outpace sepsis. Special modules decode alcoholic hepatitis and fulminant failure—so your next shift delivers safer care and better survival.

Mechanical Ventilation Part II: Beyond the Basics

Precision under pressure: When every breath counts, advance from knobs to clinical reasoning. You will set evidence-based modes and parameters, detect and treat auto-PEEP, diagnose high-pressure causes with peak–plateau logic, recognize dyssynchrony on waveforms, and correct it with targeted adjustments—then apply, evaluate, and design strategies that speed safe weaning and protect lungs.

Mechanical Ventilation Part III: ARDS

Amid crashing oxygenation and stiff lungs, sharpen the decisions that change outcomes. In this advanced, physiology-first course you will recognize ARDS early, stratify severity with meaningful indices, design lung‑protective strategies, titrate PEEP with intention, implement proning, and critique fluids and adjuncts—then escalate care or transfer without delay. Leave able to apply calm, life‑saving ventilation at the bedside.

Nutrition in the ICU

Feeding is critical care—make it count. This practical, evidence-based course helps you diagnose malnutrition, stratify risk for early, targeted therapy, determine energy and protein needs with reliable bedside methods, and monitor tolerance without routine residual checks, including safe feeding on vasopressors and during proning. You’ll apply judicious parenteral strategies and tailor protocols for pancreatitis and obesity to cut infections, shorten stays, and improve survival.
