Haemato, Neurologic & Global Conditions

This subject will teach you how to manage a patient with major trauma, septic shock, and severe anaemia; to perform and interpret an AFAST scan and give a blood transfusion. Both the pathophysiology and clinical aspects of the following conditions are covered: trauma, burns, hyperthermia, toxicities, coagulopathies, IMHA, IMT, anaphylaxis, diabetic ketoacidosis, Addisonian crisis, hyperosmolar hyperglycaemic syndrome, SIRS/sepsis and DIC. This subject will build on knowledge that was acquired as an undergraduate leading to a deeper understanding and improved clinical confidence of these conditions.
