Acute Pain Management of Special Populations - Renal, Hepatic, Sickle Cell course
This session covers the initial management of acute pain in patients with chronic kidney disease, liver dysfunction and sickle cell disease.
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
- State the main causes and complications of renal disease
- List the stages of chronic kidney disease and the estimated glomerular filtration rate associated with each stage
- State the main causes of liver disease
- State the main symptoms of sickle cell disease
- Describe the management of acute pain in patients with kidney disease, liver disease and sickle cell disease
