Learning Outcomes
- Assess, develop, and execute a management plan for a patient with traumatic injuries, as well as epidemiology, morbidity, mortality, and prevention strategies utilizing general pathophysiology and integrated pathophysiological principles.
- Recognize effective utilization of technology to assess pathophysiology of patients that have sustained traumatic injuries.
- Identify anatomical structures and explain the function of the upper and lower airway in the adult and pediatric patients and differentiate physiological and pathophysiological function of ventilation and respiration.
- Demonstrate the ability to effectively manage the airway of a patient within a controlled environment, performing the necessary skills to effectively isolate the trachea and utilize alternate airway devices and adjuncts to ensure adequate ventilation.
