Teaching language

Suitable for English-speaking students

Objectives

To know the global treatment of respiratory patient (oxygen and drugs)

To gain familiarity with the influence of acid-base balance and fluid therapy in supporting the patient.

To know the general antibiotic therapy rules and hyperbaric adjuvant

Learning outcomes and competences

A patient cantered clinical approach to the several therapeutic bundles, will allow acquiring the knowledge and skills initially proposed.

There is a need for a first introduction to the several subjects, which is continued by a practical approach patient centred. In those subjects that are workable high fidelity simulation is provided.

Working method

Presencial

Program

Respiratory therapeutics, acid-base balance, fluid therapy, antibiotics, antiviral, antifungal and hyperbaric therapy. Paediatric and Perioperative therapeutic details

Mandatory literature

.; Sanford Guide antimicrobial Therapy

Teaching methods and learning activities

Theoretical, Practical, Field-work, Simulation

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, teaching / learning methodologies will depend on the existing epidemiological situation and we can have one of the 3 scenarios:

A. Face-to-face - classes will take place in the usual manner

B. Blended format for contact hours:

. Theoretical classes will be held with presence of some students or totally remotely via Zoom in a synchronous way.

. TP classes will be held with presence of some students or totally remotely via Zoom in a synchronous way with discussion of clinical cases.

. Practical classes: the groups will be divided into two parts, half should have contact with the real patient and the other half with the virtual patient or perform another activity indicated by the teacher, alternating the following week.

C. Distance learning - this model will only be applied if the conditions for semi-face-to-face teaching are impossible due to pandemic and will be done entirely with the use of virtual patients and digital platforms.
