This course is intended to educate and train emergency medicine professionals in critical invasive procedures. Although these procedures are life-saving, many will perform them infrequently in clinical practice due to their invasive nature. This discuss and instruction will focus on introducing or retraining attendees to perform a number of critical care invasive procedures. Participants will have a forum to build on and maintain their clinical skills.
