Educational Objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Explain how to improve diagnosis of hypomagnesemia by understanding the poor negative predictive value of a normal plasma Mg test.
  • State ways to improve practioners' understanding of when assessing for hypomagnesemia may be necessaryDescribe how to make providers aware of new tools available for management of hypomagnesemia.
  • Identify domains of functional impairment in the post-intensive care syndrome
  • Identify patients' priorities for participation in meaningful activities during recovery after critical illness.
  • Identify a range of barriers and facilitators for patients to participate in meaningful activities after critical illness.
  • Recognize knowledge gaps for how to optimize care delivery for functionally impaired critical illness survivors.
  • Describe the primary immune response upon pathogen entry into the lung.
  • Identify and highlight the importance of RNA binding proteins in controlling inflammatory response.
  • Recognize the role of IkappaB-zeta as an important regulator of inflammatory response.
