Corso di laurea in Ortottica ed Assistenza Oftalmologica

The course aims to provide the scientific-theoretical bases necessary for the approach to critically ill patients, in a resuscitation and operating room context. This will happen through basic knowledge of the main anesthetic and clinical monitoring techniques, and of the diagnostic-therapeutic management of the main pathological contexts of critical care.

At the end of the Course, the student should have acquired scientific and theoretical knowledge relating to the pathophysiological bases of the most common resuscitation clinical pictures; to the management of the patient in an intensive care environment, with reference to the particular areas of interest of competence; to the clinical-instrumental management and treatment of basic medical and resuscitation emergencies/urgencies.

1. General and locoregional anesthesia (basic techniques and pharmacology)
2. Main techniques for monitoring vital functions
3. The resuscitation patient and his overall management (basics)
4. Basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (Basic Life Support), with the use of a defibrillator, in extra- and intra-hospital contexts
5. Initial diagnostic, management and therapeutic approach to the main physio-pathological conditions: shock, acute respiratory failure, coma, the main cardiovascular emergencies)
6. Pain and its management
7. Specific skills based on the main areas of the relevant course
