The Critical Care Pharmacy Preparatory Review and Recertification Course is ideal for pharmacy professionals who are preparing for the Board of Pharmacy Specialties (BPS) Critical Care Pharmacy Specialty Certification Examination, for Board Certified Critical Care Pharmacists (BCCCPs) seeking recertification through continuing education, and for those seeking a self-paced review and refresher of critical care pharmacy topics.

Developed and presented by nationally recognized pharmacy faculty, the course content provides a comprehensive review of the knowledge domains covered in the critical care pharmacy specialty. Using a case-based approach, the course strongly emphasizes the thought processes needed to solve patient care problems in each therapeutic area.

Learning Objectives

1. Distinguish between the common clinical toxidromes associated with acute poisonings.
2. Describe the general management of a patient with an acute overdose.
3. Determine the best options for the management of selected toxins.
4. Assess a patient with clinical acute overdose, and develop a patient care plan according to current evidence.

6. Define acute kidney injury (AKI).
7. Differentiate between common categories of drug-induced kidney disease.
8. Discuss key principles of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), including indications, timing, and circuit components.
9. Apply drug-dosing concepts in CRRT to estimate a sieving coefficient, saturation coefficient, and/or drug clearance on the basis of drug characteristics and device settings.
10. Develop a management strategy for the prevention and treatment of pain, agitation/sedation, and delirium, immobility, and sleep disruption (PADIS) in an intensive care unit (ICU) patient with various comorbidities.
11. Discuss relevant pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic considerations of PADIS medications as they pertain to disturbances in critical care physiology.
12. Identify relevant adverse effects, drug interaction, and drug withdrawal syndromes in the management of PADIS.
13. Evaluate patients in the ICU for PADIS using a validated screening tool.
14. Construct a plan for the management of delirium.
15. Identify the long-term effects of critical illness in adult ICU patients.
16. Create a management strategy for PADIS-related medications that are continued beyond ICU discharge.
17. Describe a treatment and monitoring plan for critically ill patients receiving neuromuscular blockade.
