INDUSEM along with the Emergency Medicine Association in India, and Academic College of Emergency Experts in India developed a novel Shock Resuscitation Training Program to address the need for an approach to shocked patients presenting to the emergency department.
Shock presents with symptoms and signs with significant overlap despite resulting from a variety of etiologies. There are courses which focus on specific etiologies such as trauma resuscitation courses, or cardiac resuscitation courses. Further, these are conducted differently for adult and pediatric patients. These courses, thereby, have significant overlap of information.
There was a lack of a unifying approach to resuscitation in shock, particularly where etiologies coexist. For instance, managing a patient with polytrauma following a stroke while driving, or a fall down a flight of stairs following an MI. As EM clinicians, we are expert resuscitationists. This program focuses on understanding the concepts of resuscitation, with two components.
- Online Shock Resuscitation Theory
- Skills Mela (focuses on practical skills)
The Online Shock Resuscitation Theory will need to be completed prior to attending the Skills Mela practical component and requires separate registration on the online portal.
The Skills Mela focuses solely on the practical skills applicable in resuscitation scenarios. This is conducted during the annual EMINDIA conference, with the expectation that candidates will have completed the theory component prior to attendance.
Please visit the conference registration page for further details on the registration process for both components.
