EMTP 1081 - Shock & Fluid Therapy Lecture

Description
An understanding of shock or lack of cellular oxygenation and its management are covered in depth. This course will present a discussion of body fluids, osmosis, the pathophysiology of shock, evaluation, and resuscitation. This class is a “Flipped” classroom and students will watch lectures away from the classroom and take quizzes and exams. Quizzes and exams will be discussed in class and material that needs further attention will be taught by the instructor.
