Medical, a Boston-based leader in non-invasive fluid management,
today announced it will offer educational sessions and preview the
company’s new Virtual Trainer app at the 2019 National
Teaching Institute (NTI) & Critical Care Exposition annual
meeting, May 20-23 in Orlando, Fl.
“The NTI conference continues to be a pivotal forum for providing
continued education for nurses who work in critical care settings,” said
Chris Hutchison, president and CEO of Cheetah Medical. “We are proud to
invest in this ongoing education by showcasing our Virtual Trainer and
offering sessions on the importance of fluid management in sepsis
treatment.”
As part of NTI’s ExpoEd, Cheetah Medial will support a series of
30-minute educational sessions that focus on the importance of
implementing nurse driven protocols and education for dynamic assessment
and fluid management in sepsis. Each session awards 0.5 continuing
education recognition points (CERPs). These sessions include:
-

“Sepsis is among the most common causes of death in the hospital

the education and training to properly recognize and respond to sepsis
and septic shock.”

Trainer app throughout the conference at its booth (#2317). Virtual
Trainer is an app for iPad that provides educational modules focused on
