About Study Course
Objective
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.During the study course, the resident acquires and strengthens knowledge that will allow him/her to understand and theoretically describe the indication and execution of practical manipulations, cardiopulmonary resuscitation principles for children and adults, etiology of septic shock, pathogenesis, diagnostics, and treatment principles.
Skills
1.The resident will have acquired the following skills in a simulated environment: • Skin biopsy for fibroblast culture • Bone marrow aspirate in children • Lumbar puncture in children • Peripheral cannula insertion in children • Supra-pubic aspiration of urine in children • Urethral catheterisation in children • Venous puncture and catheter insertion in children.
Competences
1.The following competencies are necessary, but not exhaustive (the range of competencies can be expanded if preconditions develop during studies), and they should be acquired in connection with the completion of relevant simulations: • Provide immediate care for children in emergency situations, including first aid and resuscitation; • Assess and evaluate an acute pediatric emergency • Provide basic first aid • Provide acute pediatric care in an emergency • Provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation in neonatal and pediatric patients • Provide basic information and communicate with colleagues and parents in the following simulated situations: Basic and advanced CPR in children - Cardiac arrest, asystole / PEA - cardiac arrest, VF / pulseless VT - Stable tachyarrhythmia - Unstable tachyarrhythmia (electrical injury) - Bradycardia (drowning / hypothermia), Respiratory failure: - Pneumonia - Upper airway obstruction - Lower airway obstruction (asthma, bronchiolitis); Foreign body in the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract; Circulatory failure: - Hypovolemic shock - Septic shock - Cardiogenic shock - Obstructive shock - Anaphylactic shock - Distributive shock (MIS-C); Metabolic disorders: - Electrolyte imbalances (Hyperkalemia, Hypokalemia, Hypernatremia, Hyponatremia) - DKA - Hypoglycemia; Infection control in emergency situations; Communication: - Communication with parents in complicated situations (oncology, refusal of treatment, etc.) - Patient safety case reporting.

During the study course, the resident must acquire theoretical knowledge about the manipulations (performed in the simulation course) and the emergencies mentioned in the simulation scenarios, paying attention to the tasks of a practicing pediatric infectologist in the care of such children.
