This is episode 2 of the series: Envenomations: Snakes, Lizards, Marine Life, and Arthropods

Envenomations, particularly snakebites, are common in Southern states, yet most
healthcare professionals have little formal training on this subject. Frequently, the medical care provided is inconsistent with established guidelines. There are a variety of common mistakes of both omission and commission. Antivenom is not administered when it is indicated, and antibiotics and surgical interventions are ordered despite the evidence indicating these are unnecessary. Many soft tissue infections are mis-diagnosed as spider bites and hymenoptera stings often receive unnecessary and potentially dangerous treatments.

This podcast reviews the pathophysiology, clinical features, and management of various
envenomations, including snakebites, scorpion stings, spider bites, hymenoptera stings,
bites from venomous lizards and a variety of marine envenomations, including jellyfish
stings. Common myths will be dispelled, and learners will be provided with evidence-based treatment guidelines.

Series: Envenomations: Snakes, Lizards, Marine Life, and Arthropods

This is episode 3 of the series: Artificial Intelligence in Nursing

What is artificial intelligence (AI)? How is it being used in healthcare today? How is it already influencing nursing care? Artificial intelligence is not a new technology. It has been around for decades. As the technology continues to evolve and people train the associated technological algorithms with more data to become smarter, technology really can begin to perform some humanlike tasks. Computers are essentially developing a cognitive type of ability, based on how the technology is designed, to work in healthcare from assisting with preparing hospital charges for billing to intelligent robots assisting patients and healthcare professionals. There are a lot of advantages with intelligence technology, but where can “help” cross the line over into concern?

Series: Artificial Intelligence in Nursing

In this episode, we will cover the basics of describing artificial intelligence (AI) and also discuss the role AI is playing in healthcare. AI is being used to help trigger alerts for possible medical conditions and to also design robotics for healthcare. However, along with this technology comes the concept of the black box phenomenon. We can enter data into a machine, but we don’t always understand how the machine is coming up with the information it’s giving us in return. Can it be trusted?
