Essentials of Critical Care (ECCO) & Simulation Skills Days

COURSE DESCRIPTION
The ECCO & Simulation/Skills Critical Care Course is an entry level program that blends online learning and four days of simulation scenarios and critical care skill stations. The ECCO consists of 18 modules:
  • Pulmonary
  • Cardiovascular
  • Neurological
  • Renal
  • ​Gastrointestinal
  • Endocrine
  • Hematological
  • Multisystem Disorders

During the simulation/skills days, the focus is to promote the application and synthesis of the ECCO module content and allow the participant to practice critical thinking, decision making skills, and interventions in a safe learning environment. Simulation scenarios allow assessment and treatment of patients with complex disorders involving airway management, drug titration, cardiac dysrhythmias and multi-system problems.  Case study scenarios are also utilized for practicing bedside management of patients with complex disorders.
 
During the course, participants should expect to spend approximately 2-4 hours a day completing the online ECCO modules in conjunction with work in the clinical area under the direction of a qualified RN preceptor. To prepare for the Simulation/Skills days, participants must complete the corresponding ECCO modules which range from 16-24 hours depending on the component content
