Pancreatic Fluid Collections
Overview
A pancreatic pseudocyst is a collection of tissue and fluids that forms on the pancreas, usually due to a hard blow to the abdomen or pancreatitis. In this one-hour continuing education activity, participants will explore the variations of pancreatic fluid collections, discussing development and various treatment options, in order to enhance patient care in the GI Suite.
This learner paced education activity is intended primarily for RNs with a responsibility for or an interest endoscopic procedures and safe patient care in the GI Suite. The presentation will also be of interest to allied healthcare personnel and MDs involved in endoscopy.
Upon completion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
1) Differentiate between mature and immature pancreatic fluid collections based on the Revised Atlanta Classifications.
2) Describe current treatment options for managing pancreatic fluid collections in the GI Suite.
3) Discuss potential benefits of luminal apposing metal stents in treating pancreatic fluid collections.
Participants will complete the recorded webinar learning activity. They will view the presentation, then register to complete the evaluation and take the post-test on the website. They will submit the documentation as directed. A bibliographic reference is included for those wishing additional information.
Upon successful completion of the entire online program and submission of required documentation, participants will be granted 1 contact hour. No partial credit will be granted.
