Critical Care Medicine: Respiratory Physiology & Mechanical Ventilation Online full course

Learning Objectives

Each course is designed with targeted learning outcomes that align with real-world EMS challenges. Depending on your chosen track, you can expect to:

Review the major functions of respiration

Describe the components of the upper and lower airways

Outline and briefly describe the components of the respiratory system, including: ( conducting airways, alveolar-capillary unit, alveolar  surface, pulmonary circulation, cells of the airway, muscles of respiration, and the central nervous system and neural pathways regulating respiration)

Relate lung structure to lung function

Mechanical Ventilation

Across all tracks, emphasis is placed on integrating evidence-based practice, cultural competence, and systems thinking to enhance your role as a resilient and adaptive EMS professional.
