(MENAFN-Khaleej Times) The Paediatric Fundamental Critical Care Support (PFCCS) course addressed the fundamental management principles for the 24-hour period following resuscitation of a critically ill paediatric patient
Physicians at the Shaikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC) underwent a course to equip them with the latest information on paediatric critical care.
The Paediatric Fundamental Critical Care Support (PFCCS) course addressed the fundamental management principles for the 24-hour period following resuscitation of a critically ill paediatric patient, until transfer or appropriate critical care consultation can be arranged.
“The first 24 hours of management and care following the resuscitation of a critically ill paediatric patient is crucial and forms a key component of advanced life support. Most complications occur during the first 24 hours of resuscitation because multiple organ systems can be affected, and early recognition of a seriously ill child with early intervention can shorten hospitalisation and save lives,” said Dr. Ahmed Taha, intensive care physician at the SKMC, and organiser of the PFCCS course.
“Post-resuscitation care will benefit from the development of a system-wide plan for proactive treatment, especially in the cases of paediatric patients where there is a current need,” he added.
SKMC offers the PFCCS courses exclusively in the UAE as a registered centre by the US Society of Critical Care Medicine, a non-profit multidisciplinary, multispecialty international organisation dedicated to ensuring excellence and consistency in the practice of critical care.
