Learning outcomes

Module: MEDICINA D'URGENZA
-------
To give to the students a basic knowledge on the main medical urgencies and emergencies, including early recognition of life-threatening conditions, flow-charts regarding the main acute syndromes.


Module: TERAPIA DEL DOLORE, INTENSIVA, ANESTESIOLOGIA
-------
The course aims to provide the students with the adequate knowledge related to both medical and surgical emergencies. Particular attention is paid to the clinical-diagnostic pathway of specific pathologies, so as to provide the students with the information which are required to differentiate them and start an appropriate and rapid diagnostic procedure.
Single treatments are individualized within their specific context (territory, home, ambulante, E.R., floor, I.C.U, etc). Furthermore, all treatments are proposed on the basis of available Evidence Based Medicine.
During the course all students are given the possibility to follow a cycle of Advance Life Support lessons, which aim to provide cornerstone information for an adequate Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).
Course Objectives include also principal anesthesiological techniques, surgical patient preparation for both planned and emergent interventions, acute and chronic pain pathophysiology.



Module: CHIRURGIA D'URGENZA
-------
The aim of this course is to provide the students with the knowledge concerning the treatment of both medical and surgical emergencies. Particular relevance is given to the clinical-diagnostic framework of the different pathologies, in order to recognize them and to implement a proper and quick diagnosis and treatment.

Examination Methods

Oral and unique. The student will be asked questions about 2-3 topics ( medical emergencies, surgical emergencies, anesthesia, intensive care medicine and pain therapy) from a 2-lecturer commission which will be drawn on the first exam day.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
