Intensive Care Medicine - practice

Day 10 - polytrauma, severe bleeding, sepsis

In today's exercise, you'll be back at SIMU to solve high-fidelity simulations that will test everything you've learned. Within these simulations, you will encounter several life-threatening conditions that await your solution. As the title of the exercise suggests, you should have studied polytrauma, severe bleeding, and sepsis before today's practice. Also review the issues of reversible causes of cardiac arrest.

For all topics, you will find video lectures, pdf lectures and links in the Study Materials folder. Please study all these materials carefully before the exercise, as it is a condition of participation in the exercise, as well as correctly answering the ROPOT.
