Objectives

1. To integrate into the general education of the future physicians, the notions and basic requests of performance in real time and of continuous monitoting of vital functions; 2. To give information as to how the general physician deals with his patients who will be or have been subjected to anaesthesia; 3. To contribute, according to the Recommendations of European Council of Resuscitation, to the knowledge and the acquisition of the basic skills capable of saving lives, as well as the training regarding basic support; 4. To enhance the capacity of pluridisciplinary integration of knowledge and gathering of information on patients, particularly in situations of non-collaboration, as well as the use of medical language, 5. To show the extent of the professional practice of Anaesthesiology (general and regionall anaesthesia, peri-anesthetic medicine, intensive care medicine, emergency medicine, pain management) as a contribution to the informed choice of a professional career of future physicians.

Eligibility for exams

Multiple choice question test (35 questions) - 35 x 0,5 = 17,5 marks; practical session of basic life support + TEAM + practical session of advanced life support = 2,5 marks.
Minimum requirements for approval: Basic life support + advanced life support + TEAM + 9,5 marks in the final test of assessment.
Assessment at 2 possible moments: the end of each block and July (in accordance with the FMUP Pedagogic Regulation).

Calculation formula of final grade

Multiple choice question test (35 questions) - 35 x 0,5 = 17,5 marks; practical session of basic life support + TEAM + practical session of advanced life support = 2,5 marks.
