Feel like when there is raised ICP in a patient, you start to think you've got a concussion and have no more knowledge? After this webinar, you'll be haemorrhaging out knowledge!

PVACCS will be going through intracranial haemorrhage, including causes, signs, symptoms, investigations and management.

Feeling like you might go into shock when you hear anyone talk about electrolytes?

PVACCS is here to infuse you with the basics of fluid and electrolytes, going through prescribing, common electrolyte disturbances and a few case studies of things you might see in the ward or ICU.

It might be a 'post pandemic' era, but respiratory failure is always present in the ICU, not just from covid. PVACCS is ready to clear up the differences in types of respiratory failure, causes and management, to make sure you're not hyperventilating from anxiety when you see your first patient in respiratory distress.

This event is perfect for those interested in the basics of respiratory failure, so for both junior doctors and medical students!

Still confused with an anion gap is? Don't really sure with how to interpret an acid base change on a VBG? PVACCS has got you, with a whole webinar on how to actually interpret it, figuring out what the common causes of acid base changes are, and what to do about them.

This event is catered towards junior medical officers and medical students to highlight the basics of acid base pathology

Shock is a critical condition, which is endemic in ICU but also something you can't go your junior medical years without seeing in the wards. For the first ICU miniseries, PVACCS is going to bring you up to speed with the basics of shock!

During this webinar, registrars and recent consultants are going to bring you the ways to polish your CV and ace your interviews for critical care jobs.

Thrilled by the adrenaline rush of critical care? Enjoy the procedural skills of anaesthetics? If those interest you and you’re considering pursuing anaesthetics or critical care in the future, tune into PVACCS’ career night!

Want to learn about how pain is generated? And the ways we manage that pain? The final part to our ABCD+P mini-series is P for Pain, and we'll be covering the types of pain, its physiology and management. Come join us to go through the analgesic ladder and adjuvant therapies to make sure you know what to do when a patient needs some help.

Confused about your anaesthetic drugs? Struggling to remember those induction steps and their physiological effects? Look no further! We’ll be joined by Dr Patrick Lloyd Beall to run through all things drugs!

Dr Evans-McKendry will explain how to assess circulation and cardiovascular monitoring in various settings. We'll also be presenting a clinical case to solve so you can keep those palpitations at bay in the ICU. Come join us and learn how to keep that blood flowing!

Stuck in COVID lock down? Looking for a breath of fresh air? Look no further and join us as we dive deep past the airway and into the lungs. We'll explore how to assess breathing and what to do if things go wrong. We'll take you through step by step what to do so you'll be ready for all those MET calls for tachypnoea and hypoxia so don't miss out!

Refresh your skills in assessing the airway and identifying various causes of airway obstruction. To get that oxygen flowing again, we'll examine the wide offering of adjuncts, artificial airways, and devices available in our hospitals, with a special topic on the management of traumatic airway injury. Our two cases will help put knowledge into practice , and as always, there will be a Q&A via Sli.do at the end.

Calling all you final years and junior doctors interested in critical care, we’ve got an event for you! Here’s a little sneak peek!

For their second event of the year, PVACCS is hosting an in-depth seminar on the In’s and Out’s of ICU training pathway, ward rounds and MET calls.

We’re here to teach you the ABC’s of anaesthetics, including key principles such as airway management, pre and post-op assessment and the phases of anaesthesia: induction, maintenance, emergence.
