Critical Care Transport
Critical Care Transport gives experienced Paramedics, Nurses, and other medical professionals the advanced training needed to care for the sickest patients during ground or air transport. We guide you through every step with clear instruction, hands-on practice, and real-world preparation.
Advance your transport skills
The Critical Care Transport program is an advanced course designed for clinicians responsible for managing high-acuity patients during interfacility or emergency transport. The curriculum builds on ALS foundations and prepares you for complex airway, cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, trauma, neonatal, and pharmacological management.
Training blends classroom instruction, simulation, and clinical experiences to mirror the demands of real critical care transport environments, whether in an MICU, CCT ambulance, or rotor/fixed-wing aircraft.
Advanced airway and ventilation
Learn advanced airway procedures, medication-assisted interventions, and ventilator setup used during critical transports. Training focuses on managing complex respiratory cases and keeping patients stable throughout movement.
Critical care
Strengthen your ability to care for cardiac, neurological, and multi-system emergencies with critical care–level interventions. You’ll study hemodynamics, shock management, and the medications used to stabilize high-acuity patients.
Trauma and transport
Develop the skills to manage severe trauma, control bleeding, and prepare patients for long or high-risk transports. Scenarios focus on packaging, reassessment, and maintaining stability in dynamic ground or air environments.
