Critical Care → CCP - Basics

B. Basic Concepts of Critical Care


Description
This module will explain the basic concepts of Critical care which determines the way a Critical Care Clinician approaches a clinical problem. We explain the concepts of tissue oxygenation, oxygen transport, organ perfusion, fluid compartments, immune response and so much more.
A video presentation will also introduce you to the world of ICU Ward Rounds, explaining the most important topics the Critical Care clinician will need to address for every patient. This topic is beyond the scope of the critical care paramedic exam revision, nevertheless, I found it useful for you as it keeps our "critical care mindset" structured and focused.
