Need a better understanding of electrolyte management? Acid-base got you puzzled? Then this post-graduate course is for you. Learn how to diagnose and treat the various extracellular and intracellular electrolyte disorders in your nutrition support patients. Develop a better understanding of arterial blood gases, acid-base balance, and how the nutrition support practitioner plays an important role in the correction of these abnormalities in patients. Case studies will be used to maximize the learning experience.
