Overview
What you will study
Life-threatening injuries, often involving many systems of the body, must be rapidly identified and treated, with consideration given to clinical presentation, mechanism of injury, age, co-morbid factors and pre-existing medical conditions.
Once the patient has entered the critical care setting, it is essential that healthcare practitioners have the necessary knowledge and skills needed to ensure ongoing assessment, identification of problems, and the ability to access expert help and to assist the patient on the road to rehabilitation.
