We are pleased to announce the online course “WHO Critical Care Severe Acute Respiratory Infection Training Short Course” on OpenWHO. You can access the course through the following link: https://openwho.org/courses/severe-acut ... -infection

The WHO Critical Care Training Short Course for Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) includes content on clinical management of patients with a severe acute respiratory infection.

This course is intended for clinicians who are working in intensive care units (ICUs) in low and middle-income countries and managing adult and pediatric patients with severe forms of acute respiratory infection (SARI), including severe pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis and septic shock.

By the end of this course, participants should:

There are 14 modules, as follows:

Module 1: Introduction to nCoV and IPC
Module 2: Clinical Syndromes and Pathophysiology of Sepsis and ARDS
Module 3: Triage
Module 4: Monitoring
Module 5: Diagnostics
