Course Details
Week 1
Preparation and Monitoring of Critical Cases
Preparedness
Considerations
Invasive blood pressure monitoring
Blood gas analysis
Spirometry
Learning objectives
After completion of this week, participants:
List generalised considerations for preparing to anaesthetise emergency cases
How to setup and use invasive blood pressure monitoring and how this relates to oscillometric and doppler techniques
Interpret a basic blood gas analysis and outline how this abnormality may have occurred
Explain what spirometry is and how it differs from capnography
Week 2
Abdominal Surgical Emergencies
Haemoabdomen
Gastric dilatation and volvulus
Acute abdomen
Epidural anaesthesia
Learning objectives
After completion of this week, participants:
Understand the physiological disturbances caused by gastric dilatation and volvulus
Understand the physiological disturbances caused by haemoabdomen
Understand the physiological disturbances caused by the acute abdomen
Participants should be able to suggest considerations for these surgeries and list possible complications that may arise during anaesthesia
Participants should be able to list the total and relative contraindications for epidural anaesthesia
Week 3
Thoracic Surgical Emergencies
Pyothorax
Penetrating injuries
Diaphragmatic rupture
Mechanical ventilation
Learning objectives
After completion of this week, participants:
Understand the physiological disturbances caused by pyothorax
Understand the physiological disturbances caused by a penetrating injury
Understand the physiological disturbances caused by diaphragmatic rupture
Participants should be able to suggest considerations for these surgeries and list possible complications that may arise during anaesthesia
Participants should also feel able to safely choose ventilator settings for use during non-emergency surgery
Week 4
Caesareans
Physiology
ASA categorisation
Anaesthesia Protocols
Anaesthesia Infusions
Learning objectives
After completion of this week, participants:
Understand the physiological considerations for caesarean section
Assign and justify the choice of an ASA category to the caesarean section patient
Suggest a safe protocol for caesarean section, with variation based on differing drug availability depending on clinical setting
Understand the basis of total intravenous anaesthesia infusions
Week 5
What’s happening? What should I do?
Hypoxia
Hypocapnia
Hypotension
ECG Abnormalities
Learning objectives
After completion of this week, participants:
Participants should be able to list possible causes of, and suggest treatments for hypoxia and hypocapnia
Participants should be able to list possible causes of hypotension and discuss the physiology of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options for this.
Participants should be able to interpret the most common ECG abnormalities seen and understand how these rhythms will affect the patient, and have an understanding of possible treatment options
Week 6
CRASH!
Recover CPR guidelines
Crash box
Basic life support
Advanced life support
Learning objectives
After completion of this week, participants:
List the vital components of a crash box
Perform safe and effective chest compressions in a variety of patient sizes and conformations.Understand how to monitor the effectiveness of CPR in the clinical setting
Interpret the most common ECG rhythms seen during CPR
Know what drug treatment options are available during CPR
The course will be fully tutored by William McFadzean and will consist of 15 hours of CPD given in various formats, including tutorials, tasks, case scenarios, forum discussions and quizzes.
