What you'll learn

The patient in respiratory distress is an urgent and critical patient that requires a sound diagnostic and therapeutic approach to save the patients’ life and subsequently manage the underlying cause. Over the 3-weeks of this course, we will review the very latest in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to the patient in respiratory distress – from pharyngeal obstruction to diaphragmatic hernia; laryngeal paralysis to flail chest and lots in-between!
This topic is all about saving the severely distressed respiratory patient – from the time of initial presentation, to the time the patient is stabilised. Topics will cover everything from oxygen therapy, thoracocentesis and ventilation therapy, to appropriate use of pharmacology to manage the severely distressed dyspnoeic patient. Full of video content from real cases, useful algorithms, and helpful information, we’ll take the stress out of dealing with these potentially fatally unwell patients in the emergency situation.

This topic is all about emergency management of lung and airway diseases, including stabilisation of the brachycephalic respiratory emergency, laryngeal paralysis, and bronchial disease, as well as patients with lung disease, including pneumonia, pulmonary contusions, ARDS, heart failure and lots more. You’ll get the latest recommendations on fluid and transfusion therapy in lung disease, how to provide emergency ventilation support, and how to perform emergency diagnostics to ensure your treatment is appropriate.

Patients with pleural space disease require urgent diagnostic and therapeutic measures to prevent decompensation. This week, we’ll look at how to both diagnose and manage patients with a whole range of pleural space conditions, using the latest literature available!

This special topic will cover the essentials of respiratory critical care, and contains up to date clinical reviews on oxygen toxicity, fluid therapy for lung disease, anaesthesia of the respiratory patient, as well as key aspects of respiratory tract hygiene and pharmacology in the critically ill patient.
