Critical Care, Aviation & ECMO Transport
COURSE INFORMATION
Requirement for Entry: Registered Healthcare Professional – HPCSA or SANC Include: Critical Care Transport Textbook & Link to other study material
Accredited for 21 CEU Points through SAMA
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will take place full time over 4 full days. Critical Care Transport thoroughly prepares medical professionals to function as competent members of a critical care team by covering the material that everyone— paramedics, nurses, physicians, and specialty crew—needs to know to operate effectively in the critical care environment.
This book meets the curricula of major critical care training programs, including University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). It covers both ground and flight transport and meets the objectives of critical care transport certification exams such as the Certified Flight Paramedic (FP-C) exam administered by the Board for Critical Care Transport Paramedic Certification.
Content includes information specific to pre-hospital critical care transport, such as flight physiology, lab analysis, hemodynamic monitoring, and specialized devices such as the intra-aortic balloon pump and specialized ECMO transportation.
Standard topics such as airway management, trauma, and pharmacology are covered in the context of critical care. Chapters have been authored by leading critical care professionals across the country and represent the most current, state-of-the-art information on management of critical care patients.
This dynamic textbook includes the following features to enhance learning:
- Skills, covering equipment, indications, contraindications, steps, and complications
- A synopsis of signs-and symptoms, differential diagnosis, and management points for each condition discussed
- Explanations of controversies
- Management algorithms
- An in-depth case study in each chapter
- ECMO Transport and troubleshooting (Additional notes)
- Ventilation
- Invasive Hemodynamic Monitoring
- Special ICU medications during transport
- Management algorithms
- An in-depth case study in each chapter
