Overview
The purpose of this module is to enable students to improve their knowledge of the underlying pathophysiology of shock, and precipitating conditions of cardiovascular collapse and be able to enhance their current management strategies to prevent deterioration. Weekly themes include the principles of shock; understanding the role of the macro and microcirculation and acute traumatic coagulopathy before moving on to looking at current research, best practice, and innovations surrounding medical and traumatic cardiac arrest. Trauma care forms part of this module, considering its role in cardiovascular collapse and improving understanding of interventions such as fluid management, positive pressure ventilation, the role of ultrasound, and pharmacology in line with current best practice.
