PACT - Critical Care distant learning course

The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) has designed a multidisciplinary distance-learning programme PACT, Patient-centred Acute Care Training.

Eventually, the whole programme will have 45 modules divided into 4 major areas -

  • CLINICAL PROBLEMS,
  • SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES,
  • ORGAN SPECIFIC PROBLEM and
  • PROFESSIONALISM.

The content of each module is based on real life in the ICU. Each module describes a clinical scenario in which the user is asked to interpret the nature of problems and make management decisions. At the end of each module there are self-assessment multiple-choice questions (MCQs). 12 modules are already available

  1. ACUTE RENAL FAILURE
  2. ALTERED CONSCIOUSNESS
  3. ARRHYTHMIA
  4. BASIC CLINICAL EXAMINATION
  5. CLINICAL IMAGING
