Critical Care Transport Program

Course Objectives
The Critical Care Transport Program is designed to prepare paramedics and nurses to function as members of a critical care transport team. Critical patients that must be transported between facilities require a different level of care from hospital or emergency field patients. Curriculum Design The Critical Care Transport Program is designed to provide the basic educational foundation required for specialist transporting critical care patients. In addition, it may serve as a springboard for those institutions looking to expand into critical care.

The Critical Care Transport Program Manual is a curriculum divided into broad modules. Each module has a specific instructional goal, a rationale (establishing a connection with the desired benefits of the program), a list of necessary equipment to demonstrate various critical care techniques, the required readings, and the learning objectives.

Each lesson contains a focus statement (providing a specific direction about the topic and how it will contribute to the development of the participants), a list of learning objectives, demonstration equipment, additional readings, handouts, and a lesson outline.

Participants
The Critical Care Transport Program brings paramedics and nurses together in an effort to bridge the gap between prehospital and hospital care. The result is a specialized care provider that has an understanding of both aspects of patent care, and uses the understanding to provide the highest level of care to critical patients during transport.
