Imagine yourself making a catch on a lab finding that could save your patient from a potential crisis.

We all want to be able to sort through the lab results and feel confident that we aren’t missing something. Especially if that detail might be something that could have really significant patient implications.

You’ve learned tips and tricks through your own healthcare career when it comes to interpreting a patient’s lab results. Now you have an opportunity to learn from Cyndi Zarbano, MSN, CCRN, PCCN, LNC, NLCP. She has accumulated a wealth of knowledge through her more than 25 years working in intensive care, critical care, and flight nursing roles.

  • Finally make sense of the CBC’s differential
  • Toxicology findings: What does and doesn’t show up
  • Life threatening electrolytes – and immediate interventions
  • Must know clues from the liver function panel
  • ABG analysis made quick and easy with one simple tool!
