Aim of the course:
Students acquire knowledge of the subject, based on their preclinical and clinical knowledge in the field. During clinical practice in the operating suite, students get aquire with the specific organization and working in the operating theatre. Students also participate passively and actively in some medical procedures under attending physician, particulary in range: mechanical ventilation, airway management, basic and advanced hemodynamic monitoring, as well as vein cannulation. Getting the knowledge of volatile and intravenous anaesthetics influence on central nervous system, circulatory and respiratory system.
Evaluation patients conditions with algorithm of preceeding in particular clinical situation.
Learn the basic issues in conducting therapy in the intensive care unit, especially different kinds of shock. Regional anesthesia: spinal, epidural, local anesthetics. Perioperative management of patients scheduled for different kinds of surgery.
Basic and advanced life support are also the part of conducted exercises.
