Acid Base pH vs Sedation Certification Sim

Acid Base pH is the ultimate tool for accurate estimation of pH values of acid – base aqueous systems. This application calculates pH values of solutions of weak and strong, monoprotic and polyprotic acids and bases and additionally builds titration curves and provides pH and titrant volume values at equivalent points. Layout of "Acid Base pH". Screen is divided by two sides: acidic (left) and basic (right), comprising of initial data of solutions, such as molar concentration, volume, proticity and equilibrium constants of first three dissociations. The upper, main field on each side allows to choose if the compound is titrant or analyte and the right field in the second row allows to choose proticity and weakness of acid or base. Important: Titrant compound, by default, can be only monoprotic and strong. When molar concentration of only one initial solution is provided (acid or base side), the application will estimate pH of the single solution. On the other hand, if both solution concentrations are provided, then application will be able to draw titration plot (“Plot” option in the navigation bar), based on titrant-analyte parameters as well as to provide pH and titrant volume values at equivalent points. Furthermore, the plot of titration curve can be exported as an image or as text worksheet. Additionally, it is possible to find titrant volume needed to achieve desired pH value, by entering the pH value to the corresponding field and pressing “Calculate” button. Application features. ·Estimation of solutions pH values is based on advanced quantitative chemical analysis which allows simultaneous calculation of all dissociation stages of acid and base and water dissociation (Kw). ·Application can plot titration curve and export it as an image or data file to the “Acid Base pH” directory in the “Documents” fiolder. ·Application provides pH and titrant volume values at equivalent points. ·Water dissociation constant (Kw) can be adjusted to meet any custom conditions (temperature, etc.). ·Application is able to estimate the titrant volume needed to achieve desired pH values (within titration range), that is particularly useful for buffer preparation. ·The dissociation constants fields accept both formats: 1) pK values (-log(K)) as a simple decimal values and 2) regular K values, in scientific format only, that requires including of exponential part “e” (for example: 1e-5 instead of 0.00001, or 2.5e0 instead of 2.5). Empty dissociation constant field would imply that this dissociation step is “strong” or complete. ·Long press on “Calculate” button shows pOH and [H+] and [OH-] concentration values, corresponding to the current pH. · Application provides list of commonly used indicators and presents color transformations on top of titration curve. Important points. ·The user must provide both initial molar concentrations of acid and base in order to get the titration curve plotted. ·To get the specific pH value of the mixture, the user must provide initial volumes of acid and base solutions, otherwise pH at equimolar point will be estimated! ·If user updates any of the required data, the program will not start to plot titration curve until user press “Calculate” button and only if the update is accepted. ·Equivalent point is represented by particularly big jump in pH at almost no change in volume, making impractical any precise titrant volume estimation in the close proximity to the point. ·Initial concentrations of acid or base must be above 0.5 µM. ·Info for equivalent points is provided on the base of molar ratios only! ·Application assigns dot as a decimal separator.

This app Contains Sedation Competency Simulator and Sedation Certification Course You can Register for one or the other or both. The mission of Sedation Certification is to provide certification to non-anesthesia sedation providers, such as nurses, to ensure they meet patient safety standards set by The Joint Commission and other healthcare accrediting organizations. This certification program aims to ensure that nurses and other non-anesthesia sedation providers are trained in patient assessment, sedation and emergency medications, airway management, and emergency equipment for moderate sedation to provide competency for safe and effective patient sedation. The Only Competency Based, Self-Paced, Personalized, Gated, Sedation Certification Online Course Sedation Certification is the benchmark for safe and effective sedation standardization and meets all criteria for TJC (The Joint Commission), DNV and AAAHC accrediting organizations. The Sedation Competency Simulator is designed to replicate a realistic sedation procedure to validate a sedation provider’s training and capability to apply knowledge, technical skills, and abilities to perform safe and effective sedation as defined by The Joint Commission and other accreditation organizations. RNs earn your Certified Sedation Registered Nurse (CSRN™) credential Online plus 10 Contact Hours *Certification is valid for 2 years from completion date* Requirements:  •       Current RN, PA, MD, DO, or DDS license •        Current ACLS or PALS certification Register, create your account, and log in with the password you will receive by email.   The Learner will be able to: •        Use a pre-sedation competency checklist to self-evaluate current moderate sedation competencies. •        Define the levels of sedation. •        Discuss the Joint Commission guidelines for sedation. •        Identify critical elements of the patient preoperative assessment. •        List the four Mallampati classifications for airway assessment. •        Describe the various oxygen delivery systems and airway adjuncts. •        Discuss the pharmacology of common moderate sedation and reversal agents. •        Identify potential complications and appropriate treatment. •        Discuss pre and post-operative techniques in suggestibility and semantics. •        List the suggested sedative agents for case study #1, a 54 y/o male for colonoscopy. •        Describe the monitoring considerations for a 62 y/o female for a breast biopsy. •        Identify from the post-competency checklist the needed additional competency training and experience for safe and effective sedation.   Gated Course Description: •        The course is divided into 12 sections. Each section is gated and tested independently with an accumulative overall test score of 80% or better to pass. One retesting is allowed. Includes: - A pre and post-sedation competency evaluation - Eight video lectures - Two Case simulations - PDF Course Manual Pass and complete the evaluation to receive immediate notification to download and print your Contact Hours Certificate. Your frameable CSRN Certification will be mailed within 21 days. You will also receive a complimentary one-year membership with the American Association of Moderate Sedation Nurses (AAMSN).
