Description: This CD-ROM captures a 60-Minute Webinar presented by Christina Kurkowski and includes the audio/visual presentation, post-test and continuing education instructions for home study credit. Osteoarthritis of the hip or knee, and hip fractures, are major causes of disability in older people. Orthopaedic surgery for these conditions is a major component of healthcare, relieving pain and restoring mobility and quality of life. Complications of surgery include infection, bleeding, and venous thromboembolism. Fracture complications also include fat emboli syndrome and compartment syndrome. This presentation will translate evidence-based guidelines for prevention and treatment of complications in orthopaedic patients into clinical practice. About the Speaker Christina Kurkowski, MS, RN, ONC, CNOR, ANP-C, ONP-C, works as a nurse practitioner and a registered nurse first assistant (RNFA), providing care to a variety of orthopaedic patients. She holds certifications as an orthopaedic nurse, perioperative nurse, adult nurse practitioner and orthopaedic nurse practitioner. Christina participated in authoring both the orthopaedic nurse and the orthopaedic nurse practitioner review courses. Christina has shared her insights internationally at conferences sponsored by the National Association of Orthopaedic Nurses and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Additionally, she demonstrates her expertise by authoring journal articles, a chapter in Orthopaedic Nursing, and serving as the editor for her textbook, "Orthopaedic Operating Room Manual." She is well known for her ability to provide practical information with interesting case studies to interdisciplinary health care audiences. Objectives 1. Apply current guideline-recommended management strategies in preventing, detecting and treating VTE in orthopaedic patients. 2. Identify signs and symptoms of fat emboli syndrome. 3.
