Hemophilia/Bleeding Disorders Clinical Consultstm

Welcome to the Blood CME Center’s Hemophilia/Bleeding Disorders Clinical Consultstm! This Web-based learning resource will provide clinicians with a unique blend of patient cases and expert interviews. Clinical Consultstm is a platform that provides practical clinical consultation on the management of patients with hemophilia and inhibitors. Clinicians can stay current with self-directed, case-based learning presented in four modules.

“Hemophilia Clinical Consults: Epidemiology, Clinical Course, and Management of Acquired Hemophilia A”
Credits: 1.0 CME / 1.0 CNE Expires: 6/2012
The incidence of acquired hemophilia A occurs between approximately 1.34 and 1.48 per 1 million per year and predominantly affects older patients. Due to the subcutaneous, muscle, or gastrointestinal bleeding that presents with the disease, specialty physicians need to be aware of possible clinical presentations and treatment options. In this case-based learning activity, Craig Kessler, MD, and Mariasanta Napolitano, MD, both from the Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, DC, discuss the pathogenesis and treatment of acquired hemophilia A and engage in a Q&A exchange regarding various clinical presentations and diagnoses.

“Hemophilia Clinical Consults: Hemophilic Arthropathy, Reduced Bone Density, and Preventive Strategies”
Credits: 1.0 CME / 1.0 CNE Expires: 6/2012
Hemophilic arthropathy is the signature characteristic of hemarthroses, and has a negative impact on patient quality of life, often resulting in pain and disability. In this case-based learning activity, Leonard A. Valentino, MD, and Audrey C. Taylor, RN, MSN, FNP-BC, examine clinical cases in which patients experiencing hemophilic arthrophathy are evaluated, and provide clinical discussion on the prevention and management of hemophilic arthropathy and other musculoskeletal disorders.

“Hemophilia Clinical Consults: Inhibitor Formation, Management, and Therapeutic Options”
Credits: 1.0 CME / 1.0 CNE Expires: 5/2012
Hemophilia patients with inhibitors carry both a higher economic burden and higher burden of physical disability when compared to non-inhibitor patients. Hemophilia expert Guy Young, MD, and Karen Gee, RN, BSN, CPHON, outline 3 clinical cases in which hemophilia patients present with inhibitors and provide clinical discussion on emerging treatment strategies, dosing of the bypassing agents, and prophylactic bypassing therapy.
