Desaturation – Presentation


Slides from presentation/discussion for a great group of Nurses at the Pulmonary Workshop. The patient cases contained in the presentation are a fictional composite of multiple presentations – not based on any real person.

There will be slide notes and more resources to follow, when I get some time (i.e. when Archie actually goes to sleep and stops trying to type this for me).
