MEDICAL PROVIDER EDUCATION:

In 2015, a committee of the National Academy of Medicine (formerly the Institute of Medicine) reviewed the ME/CFS scientific literature and proposed clinical diagnostic criteria, with the specific goal of empowering more medical professionals to make a diagnosis of ME/CFS. This video provides a basic overview of these clinical diagnostic criteria, which highlight the most common core features of ME/CFS.

Although the content is geared towards healthcare professionals, and only opens the door to everything there is to learn about ME/CFS, this video serves as an simple educational tool to assist family members, employers, teachers, and members of the general public to gain insight and a better understanding of the disease as it impacts those with ME/CFS.

You can learn more about orthostatic intolerance and post-exertional malaise in our subsequent videos.

These videos have been made possible by the Utah Medical Association and other generous donors.

August 2021, Dr. Bateman delivered a didactic to NPs and PAs where she addressed post-acute sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC), Long Haul COVID, ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome), and orthostatic intolerance/dysautonomia.

In this lecture Dr. Bateman touches on:
-History of post-viral fatigue syndromes (PVFS)
-SARS COV-2
-Diagnostic criteria of ME/CFS
-Understanding common comorbid conditions
-COVID-19 as a post-viral syndrome (impact, prevalence)
-Two case presentations
-Assessment and management guidance
-Patient and provider educational resources

MEDICAL PROVIDER EDUCATION:

This video is geared toward medical professionals. However, we encourage everyone to watch it and share with loved ones to increase awareness of orthostatic intolerance in ME/CFS.

The National Academy of Medicine has reported there is sufficient evidence to suggest a high prevalence of orthostatic intolerance (OI) exists in those with ME/CFS.

OI is measurable, and the ability to identify and manage OI can greatly improve patient outcomes and daily functioning. Part 1 in this video series will address ways to assess and measure orthostatic intolerance, while Part 2 addresses interventions and management.

*Although this video focuses on the diagnostic criteria of OI in those with ME/CFS, the content within this video applies to all who may experience OI/POTS/neurally mediated hypotension.
