Objectives
- Integrate into the general training of future physicians the notions of real-time actuation and continuous surveillance of vital functions in Anesthesia, Perioperative Care, Intensive Care Medicine and Emergency Medicine;
- Contribute to the acquisition of knowledge and life-saving basic skills, particularly in situations of peri-arrest and severe trauma;
- Recognize the critical patient and understand the process of receipt, stabilization, diagnosis and initial therapy and screening of level of care (II and III) of the emergent acute or acute patient;
- Understand the methodologies of organic support of the critical patient;
- Foster the capacity for multidisciplinary integration of knowledge about patients, particularly in situations of non-cooperation, as well as the capacity to transmit information;
- Make known the scope of the professional practice of Anesthesiology and Intensive Medicine as a contribution to the informed choice of your future medical professional career.

At the beginning of each block, reference texts
prepared by members of the teaching team are distributed,
together with articles published in medical or
specialty journals, considered interesting for
the proposed objectives and the TEAM course book.
