MANAGEMENT OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL AID IN THE WORKPLACE
No pre-requisite constraints are provided.
MODULE A
The course aims to provide the student, with the help of frontal lessons and exercises on simulator mannequins, knowledge about the most common emergency clinical situations that may arise in the workplace and the diagnostic-therapeutic algorithms of their management. The expected learning outcomes in terms of skills are primarily those to acquire decision-making and operational capabilities to ensure that early rescuers support vital functions in the event of major trauma or sudden cardiac arrest, before the arrival of emergency medical systems.
MODULE B
Introduction to the principles of toxicology: study of toxicological interactions of chemical agents, in terms of analysis of potential effects on humans. Introduction to the basic tools for assessing exposure to toxic agents and for assessing the toxicological risk and the impact on human health. Presentation of methodologies for the study of the effects and mechanisms of action deriving from exposure to environmental contaminants and occupational risk agents. At the end of the course the student is expected to have acquired adequate knowledge to be able to assess the toxicological risk deriving from human exposure to environmental contaminants and occupational risk agents, participate in impact assessments, manage any critical issues and communicate toxicological risk information in the most effective way.
MODULE A
The basic contents of lessons (L) and exercises on simulator mannequins (E) are:
1) decision-making in clinical emergency situations (L 2 h);
2) emergency medical systems organization (L 2 h.);
3) pathophysiology of respiratory and cardiocirculatory failure (L 2 h);
4) tools to support vital functions in the most common emergency situations (L 2 h).
5) principles of first aid in case of major trauma (L 8 h.);
6) sudden cardiac death and Basic Life Support with early Defibrillation (L 8 h. + 5 h with accreditation in BLSD by the Regione Lombardia).
MODULE B
The basic contents of lessons (L) are:
1) Chemical risk assessment and derivation of occupational and environmental (health based) limit values [6 hours]
2) Definition of hazard, risk, accident, occupational disease, work-associated illness [4 hours]
3) Toxicology in Industrial Processes (Metals, Gases, Solvents, etc.) [4 hours]
4) REACH, CLP and GHS regulations. Chemical Safety Assessment, Chemical Safety Report, Exposure Scenario, DNEL and DMEL. [4 hours]
5)Environmental impact from industrial emissions: normative references (SIA-VIA, VAS and VIS). Impact on soil, water and air of human activities and - consequent impact on health through the different routes of exposure. [4 hours]
6) Case studies [2 hours]
