EMS-288 Critical Care Transport

The Critical Care Transport course is designed to prepare students to provide (ICU)-level care during transport of various types of critically ill patients. A broad base of emergency and critical care physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology, and treatments will be covered as well as advanced skills that would be above and beyond the normal scope of a paramedic. Fundamentals of flight transport, CAMTS requirements, and flight physiology will also be covered. It is expected that students who successfully complete this course will test for and obtain certification as a critical care paramedic or flight paramedic. The certification will come from a national or international certifying body. Prerequisite(s): Instructor consent.  Must be a Licensed paramedic with a minimum 2 years of field experience.
