FCCS
More than 10,000 clinicians a year on five continents receive Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS) training, which prepares non-intensivists to manage critically ill patients for the first 24 hours until transfer or appropriate critical care consultation can be arranged. The course and its companion text assist the non-intensivist in dealing with the sudden deterioration of critically ill patients and prepares house staff and nurses for ICU coverage. The course is often used to prepare residents for rotations in the ICU.
Fundamental Critical Care Support (FCCS) can be
licensed and brought to an institution in two ways.
Both methods share the same:
- 16 didactic lectures
- 9 case-based skill stations
- Pre- and post-tests
- Companion textbook
- Certificate of successful course completion
- Requirements for successful course completion: attend all didactic sessions, successfully complete all skill stations, and achieve a score of 70% or higher on the post-test
- Prioritize assessment needs for the critically ill patient.
- Select appropriate diagnostic tests.
- Identify and respond to significant changes in the unstable patient.
- Recognize and initiate management of acute life-threatening conditions.
- Determine the need for expert consultation and/or patient transfer and prepare the practitioner for optimally accomplishing transfer.
The FCCS gallery is an integral part of the FCCS learning experience and is available in print or as an eBook.
The FCCS program has grown enormously since its inception in 1994. This most recent edition is the reference and source for the standardized course composed of 16 lectures and skill stations. The text is appropriate for primary care physicians, emergency physicians, residents and fellows, physicians' assistants, nurses, and other personnel who care for critically ill and injured patients.

Some Comments from Students who did FCCS from Critical Care Support Forum:-
DR. KOHLI , LUCKNOW
This remains a very good reference for the basics of critical patient care and may serve as a practical, quick reading, and relatively inexpensive adjunct to the many review and state of the art texts & journals available. I am thankful to Critical Care Support Forum to start such a good course in India.
I would highly recommend this to medical students, residents, and non-ICU physicians who may have the need to deal with critically ill patients. They will find it of significant value - and that's THE REAL TRUTH.
