2 The Theme of Training : The Critical Care Medicine meant for the care of Polytrauma (Pre-requisites, primary, secondary and tertiary care and tranportation of patient of Polytrauma to Higher Centre). (A) Outline : DURATION 12 HRS. OVER 2 DAYS (Interspaced with tea and lunch breaks) 7 hours will be for theory lectures over Power-point over different topics. 3 hours for Skill Stations with actual hands on training. 1 hour ICU round where they will be exposed to ICU infrastructure, staff, disciplinary protocols and working. 1 hour for evaluation in form of Test consisting of 50 questions with options of MCQ s. They will be expected to answer 60% of the total questions. PARTICIPANTS : Each time at about doctors should be registered (B) Module Objectives : Prioritize assessment needs for the patients of Polytrauma. Identify appropriate diagnostic tests for the patients of Polytrauma. Identify and respond to significant changes in the unstable patient. Be able to recognize and initiate management of acute life threatening conditions. Recognize the need for patient transfer and prepare the practitioner for optimally accomplishing that purpose.

3 Session wise Chapter - each Chapter will have : B-1 Specific Objective for the session B-2 Introduction to the topic B-3 Technical Contents Referred to our Polytrauma Book including complete information in its spiral binding form. B-4 Methodology for its teaching Powerpoint Presentation, LCD display (Theory part) & Dummies and live demonstration of Polytrauma (if available) in ICU (Skill station and Round of ICU part) B-5 Evaluation of the Session A session of 40 minutes for the evaluation of the candidate who will participate in our two days programme which have 50 Multiple Choice Questions. Atleast 60% marks will be necessary to consider a candidate to be Qualified (C) Suggested Reading Material : Each Chapter as mentioned in our Polytrauma Book will be followed by suggested readings, references pertaining to the selected topics. (D) Topics (Theory Part) : 1 How do we care for the Multiple Injured Patient 2 Objectives 3 Trauma Score 4 Trauma Management : Golden Hour 5 Principles of Trauma Management 6 Triage 7 Indications for ICU admission 8 Primary Survey 9 Secondary Survey 10 Definitive Care Skill Stations : 1.
