In this module, students will learn how to identify patients in shock, evaluate which patients require resuscitation, and examine tools by which this is achieved. Students will review the most common causes of shock and learn how to classify shock syndromes, maximise the cardiovascular response to shock, choose fluid therapy (dose/type) for resuscitation, and select which inopressors to apply. Students will develop further insights into cardiovascular physiology and have a clear and in depth understanding of what is meant by resuscitation. Students will learn via a series of online lectures delivered by experts in the field and will participate in discussion groups.
