About Study Course
Objective
To ensure the development of the medical resident’s competence in the application of intensive care method in toxicology.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.Medical residents are able to demonstrate basic knowledge and understanding of medical theories in intensive care in toxicology, which meets the requirements of the specialty of anaesthesiologist, reanimatologist, which provides a basis for creative thinking in clinical practice and partly in research, as well as the ability to work in interdisciplinary interactions. Medical residents must: - be able to describe the most important components of artificial lung ventilation equipment, the basic principles of operation; - be able to assess the functional status of the patient’s circulatory system; - be able to assess the functional status of a critically ill patient’s respiratory system; - be able to assess conditions requiring artificial lung ventilation; - learn the principles of operation of artificial ventilation equipment; - be able to assess the functional status of the patient’s circulatory system and to correct disorders; - be able to diagnose the degree of brain damage and provide care for an unconscious patient; - be able to interpret the water-electrolyte and acid-base status of the blood and correct disorders; - be able to diagnose multiple organ failure; - be familiar with the indications for haemodialysis, haemofiltration, hemadsorption and hyperbaric oxygenation.
Skills
1.Medical residents are able to demonstrate successful performance of the manipulations included in the course description in a clinical setting. Medical residents must: - be able to practise basic and specialised monitoring of the patient’s condition; - be able to practically provide artificial lung ventilation to the patient; - be able to assess the functional status of the critically ill patient’s respiratory system; - be able to assess conditions requiring artificial lung ventilation; - be able to perform basic monitoring of the patient’s condition.
Competences
1.Medical residents are able to successfully apply intensive care methods to critical patients in toxicology, understanding the nature of the methods and making informed decisions appropriate to their competence.

The acquisition of clinical skills is evaluated by the supervisor of practical training, while the supervisor of the specialty programme organises the examination of theoretical knowledge of study courses (in accordance with RSU Academic Regulations II). Theoretical knowledge is assessed using a variety of knowledge assessment methods: multiple-choice tests, essays, descriptions of clinical problem solutions, case presentations, etc. Skills are assessed by observation of performance in the workplace, by observation of demonstrations on a dummy or simulator, and by testing objectively structured clinical skills. Medical residents’ knowledge and skills are assessed with a grade on a 10-point scale.
