About Study Course

Objective

To promote the acquisition of knowledge about the stages and types of anesthesia, the risk of surgery and anesthesia, about intensive care in the most common situations in the clinics of internal medicine, neurology and surgery, as well as to learn the basics of advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation. To provide knowledge about the organizational foundations of disaster medicine, material and technical provision, assessment of the general condition of victims, basic principles of medical sorting and treatment, chemical catastrophes and their elimination, as well as knowledge of the epidemiology of acute exogenous intoxications clinical course, recommended treatment principles and more relevant toxic substances.

Preliminary Knowledge

Prerequisites are the study courses acquired in the previous study years on the types of surgical operations, topographic anatomy, clinical pharmacology, pathological physiology, clinical laboratory examinations, as well as first aid on the patient's primary and secondary on-site examination, basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation algorithm, basic shock algorithm.

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge

1.As a result of the study course acquisition students will be able to name and describe anesthesiology and intensive care methods, recognize and describe shock (especially hypovolemic, anaphylactic, septic), will be able to perform in-depth cardiopulmonary resuscitation, will be able to name and describe changes in pathophysiological and biochemical processes effects on the body and transmission of nociceptive impulses to the CNS, will characterize the types of pain syndrome blockade in the reflex arc stages, the basic principles of anesthesia, their advantages and side effects.

Skills

1.It will be possible to perform electrical defibrillation of the heart, basic measures of advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ensure airway permeability with instrumental methods (airways, laryngeal mask, laryngeal tube, tracheal intubation, crichothyrotomy), will be able to assess the condition of the comatose patient.

Competences

1.It will be possible to perform electrical defibrillation of the heart, basic measures of advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation, ensure airway permeability with instrumental methods (airways, laryngeal mask, laryngeal tube, cricothyrotomy). Will be able to assess the condition of the comatosis patient.

Examination

-
-
Examination (MCQ test; analysis of clinical cases by medical sorting of victims, as well as analysis of acute poisonings; OSCE-type examination for advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation, including defibrillation; methods of ensuring airway patency and ventilation of patients' artificial lungs). Evaluation criteria in the theoretical multi-answer test: more than 75% of correct answers. Evaluation Criteria for Advanced Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, Including Defibrillation for a Mannequin - Know and Practically Perform Basic Resuscitation Algorithm for Environmental Safety, Response Testing, Emergency Calling, Respiratory Liberation, Respiratory Testing, Chest Compression, Artificial Lung Ventilation, Artificial Lung Ventilation, heart rate analysis, defibrillator charging, defibrillation safety check, practical defibrillation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, repeat heart rate analysis, pulse and respiration check, intravenous medication, and a description of future tactics. In total, at least 28 points must be obtained according to a special evaluation table, which corresponds to 70% of the accurately realized manipulations. Ensuring airway patency requires knowledge of the practical application of the devices used, rapid and traumatic insertion into the airways, ventilation control and maintenance, and fixation of the inserted tube.
