Name
Pharmacology Under Pressure: Case-Based Critical Care
Description
Pharmacology Under Pressure: Case-Based Critical Care is easy when patients are stable. It becomes an entirely different discipline at altitude, in shock, during airway collapse, or when physiology breaks the rules. Pharmacology Under Pressure is a case-based masterclass designed for flight, transport, and high-acuity clinicians who want to actually understand why they give the drugs they give — and when they should do something different.
If you’ve ever asked, “Why are we giving this?” or “Is this really the best drug here?” — this course is for you. Expect fewer slides, more thinking, and uncomfortable but necessary conversations about the drugs we use every day.
