What you'll learn

Resuscitation of the trauma patient is complex, and involves the need to both rapidly identify, as well as manage life-threatening abnormalities in the patient, in a manner that optimises positive outcome for the patient. Our knowledge of optimum resuscitation strategies is evolving rapidly too – making it challenging to be sure we’re doing the best for our patients! This 2-week online course is designed to help! We’ve scoured the literature, to bring you the latest knowledge on effective strategies for resuscitation of your next trauma patient – whether they have a haemoabdomen, pulmonary contusions, urinary rupture head trauma – or even severe polytrauma!
Fluid therapy is one of the key components in resuscitation of the trauma patient. However, not all trauma patients require the same fluid type, fluid rate, or even end-points for resuscitation. This week, we’ll detail the evidence, and provide you with the most up-to-date recommendations for fluid resuscitation in your next trauma patient!

Polytrauma occurs when a patient sustains severe injury to multiple body systems, and usually signifies significant impact of body injury. Knowing how to effectively manage these patients is crucial to improving survival. This week, we’ll detail how to make crucial decisions in the resuscitation of the poly-trauma patient, how to prioritise treatment, and present real cases to illustrate how to approach these critical patients!
