About This Course

Acute bleeding is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate recognition and rapid, structured intervention to prevent hemodynamic collapse and organ failure.

This CPD course provides healthcare professionals with a systematic, evidence-based approach to the recognition and management of acute hemorrhage and shock. The course emphasizes early identification of subtle clinical signs, including tachycardia and perfusion changes, which often precede hypotension.

Participants will learn how to apply structured assessment frameworks such as the ABCDE approach, interpret key hemodynamic indices including Shock Index (SI) and Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP), and initiate immediate stabilization measures.

Special emphasis is placed on:

• Early recognition of compensated shock
• Rapid bleeding control strategies
• Fluid resuscitation and limitations of crystalloid therapy
• Blood product administration and Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP)
• Prevention of complications such as the lethal triad (acidosis, hypothermia, coagulopathy)

The course also integrates real clinical scenarios and SBAR communication to support timely escalation and multidisciplinary coordination.

This course is designed to strengthen rapid clinical decision-making and improve outcomes in emergency, trauma, and critical care settings.
