Giudizio Finale

The course aims to provide the students, with the help of front lessons and exercises on simulator mannequins, knowledge of the most common emergency situations that may threaten the survival of patients, adults or children, both intra- and extra-hospital, and the diagnostic-therapeutic algorithms of their management.
The expected learning outcomes in terms of skills are primarily those to acquire decision-making and nursing care capabilities in the most common clinical situations of acute failure of organs and apparatus, and in particular in case of cardiac arrest, cardiovascular insufficiency, respiratory failure, major trauma, coma anaphylaxis, sepsis and acute intoxications.

The basic contents of lessons (L) and exercises on simulator mannequins (E) are:
1) Early warning signals and evaluation of the critical patient (L 1 h);
2) first treatment in emergency situations (L 1 h);
3) organization of outpatient and intra-hospital emergency medical situations (L 1 h);
4) pathophysiology of respiratory and cardio-circulatory failure (3 h);
5) Sudden Cardiac arrest and Basic Life Support with Early Defibrillation (L 5 h +E 5 h to obtain accreditation in BLSD of the Regione Lombardia);
6) treatment of cardiac arrest with Advanced Life Support, threatening arrhythmias, cardio-circulatory and respiratory failure (L 5 h + E 3 h);
7) treatment of major trauma, before and after hospitalization (L 4 h);
8) principles of general anaesthesia and pain control (L 2 h);
9) Intensive Care Unit: admission and discharge criteria, ethical aspects (L 2 h);
10) Non Invasive Ventilation (L 2 h)
