Delivered over 2 webinars and interactive eLearning case studies, this module will explore the recognition and response to perioperative emergencies such as CICO, anaphylaxis, massive haemorrhage, LA toxicity and malignant hyperthermia combined with the principles of CRM. We will investigate various skills to optimise patient outcomes when faced with unexpected emergencies in the perioperative environment.
