Neurologic Assessment is a four-part series on the evaluation of the nervous system. The first three programs show how a basic neurologic examination is performed on a patient who is awake and alert. The fourth program compares and contrasts how that assessment process is different for a patient with a decreased level of consciousness. In addition, normal findings for each of these components are illustrated. Also available as individual programs.

The second program in the four-part series Neurologic Assessment, uses real-time footage of a healthcare professional performing two of the components of a complete neurologic examination. It begins by describing and then moves on to demonstration. The second part of the program focuses on motor assessment, starting with a brief explanation and then shows evaluation and measurement.

The third program in the four-part series, uses real-time footage of a healthcare professional performing two of the components of a complete neurologic examination. It includes a brief description of the functions of the cerebellum as well as the two types of sensory pathways. It demonstrates how to assess a patient's ability to discriminate between various sensory stimuli.

Because coronary artery disease may be lethal yet asymptomatic, early diagnosis is important. This program discusses the different methods of diagnosing coronary artery disease, including history and physical exam, laboratory studies, and new areas of research. The program concludes with the American Heart Association guidelines for the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke, presented along with the goals and recommendations associated with each risk factor.

Heart failure is the most frequent cause of hospitalization n patients over 65 years old. Understanding the pathophysiology of heart failure leads to early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. This program will help students, nurses and educators understand this complex disease.

Cardiac Disorders: Heart Failure: Complete Program (CD Scrom)

In Part One, we first discuss the definition and demographics of heart failure including the common terms used to describe it. Next, is an overview of the many causes of heart failure. The pathophysiology of a heart failure is then examined, using the Frank-Starling curve as a basis for understanding the relationship between stretched muscle length and strength of contraction. This is followed by a clinical scenario of a patient presenting for triage and describing a history and symptoms typical of heart failure. Part One ends with an explanation of the cardiac, sympathetic, and neurohormonal compensatory mechanisms.

In Part Two, we first examine the problem of decompensation, which occurs when the compensatory mechanisms can no longer be sustained and the heart fails. The demonstration is followed by a triage physical examination of a patient presenting to an ED with early symptoms of heart failure. Next, there is a discussion of diagnostic techniques, including important laboratory studies and imaging modalities. The American Heart Association classification system for staging heart failure is then presented, finishing with a brief overview of current medical therapies for this condition.
