Objectives and competencies
Apply advanced life support techniques:
“Prioritizing patient safety, coordinating resources, and communicating effectively with the medical team.”
Identify and treat various etiologies of respiratory distress:
Assess rapidly (ABCDE), apply stepped oxygen therapy protocols and consider common causes (pneumonia, COPD, pulmonary edema) while ordering key diagnostic tests (blood gas analysis, chest x-ray).
Stabilize and transfer critically compromised patients:
“Maintain a patent airway, optimize ventilation and circulation, and prevent complications during transport, using advanced monitoring and acting according to established protocols.”
Coordinate multidisciplinary teams in crisis situations:
Establish clear priorities, communicate effectively and delegate tasks accurately, adapting the strategy to the evolution of the crisis and managing available resources efficiently and calmly.
Implement risk prevention and mitigation strategies:
“Develop contingency plans for emergencies, drills, and management of available resources.”
Optimizing ventilation and oxygenation in patients with acute respiratory failure:
“Finely adjust ventilator parameters (Vt, RR, PEEP, FiO2) according to serial blood gas analyses and the patient’s pulmonary mechanics, minimizing ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI).”

Testimonials
I successfully applied the techniques learned during respiratory emergency management training to stabilize a patient with a severe asthma attack. Their breathing normalized thanks to the correct administration of oxygen and bronchodilators, preventing the need for intubation.
I successfully applied the techniques learned in the Marine Health and First Aid course to stabilize a crew member who suffered an open fracture at sea, keeping him safe until the rescue team arrived. He made a full recovery, and the ship’s doctor praised my quick and effective action.
“Thanks to my training in respiratory emergency management, I was able to effectively identify and stabilize a patient with a severe asthma attack during a flight, applying oxygen and the techniques I had learned, which allowed him to arrive at the hospital in stable condition to receive further treatment.”
I successfully applied the techniques learned during training to stabilize a patient with a severe asthma attack, administering bronchodilators and oxygen in a timely manner while coordinating their transfer to the hospital, which contributed to a full recovery.
