The course was designed to consolidate the systematic development of clinical reasoning and manual skills in situations involving respiratory and ventilatory control. To this end, we have organized the content chronologically, incorporating clinical discussion and the application of practical procedures in a controlled, simulated environment under faculty supervision. We will address the care of patients with trauma and acute injuries, with an emphasis on maintaining ventilatory and respiratory function. We will present and practice, using models, how to approach emergency situations, with an emphasis on differential diagnosis and the specific management for each critical situation involving this specific step in trauma care. We will incorporate knowledge of specific anatomy and applied physiology in a practical and direct manner. We will analyze the details necessary for making differential diagnoses related to chest trauma with an imminent risk of hypoxia. Development of competence in interpreting diagnostic tests in the emergency room. We will also include training in specific technical skills for performing invasive and non-invasive procedures in the management of critical situations involving respiratory compromise in trauma patients.
