This subject builds on the experienced paramedic's knowledge of the assessment and management of critically ill or injured adult patients. The subject challenges the paramedic to explore the essentials of airway, respiratory, cardiovascular and neurological assessments using intensive care level skills coupled with advanced diagnostic tools. Using a case based approach, key treatment concepts are then applied while integrating knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology and pharmacology for critical patient presentations.
