The Cardiopulmonary Interaction course is designed to help healthcare professionals understand the complex relationship between the heart and lungs, particularly in critically ill pediatric patients.

This course explains how changes in ventilation, lung mechanics, and intrathoracic pressure can influence cardiovascular function and hemodynamics. Through short micro-learning sessions, key physiological principles are simplified and connected to real clinical situations commonly encountered in pediatric critical care.

Topics include the effects of positive pressure ventilation, preload and afterload changes, pulmonary vascular resistance, and the impact of respiratory support on cardiac output. The course focuses on translating physiology into practical bedside understanding, helping clinicians make better decisions when managing children with respiratory or cardiovascular instability.

Each module includes short video lessons, clear conceptual explanations, and practice questions to reinforce understanding and support clinical application.

This course is particularly valuable for pediatric trainees, intensivists, and healthcare professionals interested in pediatric critical care.
