Ateneo - UPO

General organisation:
a-lessons' topics. All the topics will be in form of ppt or doc that will be
mdae available at the end of the frontal lecture
b-Frontal lessons will be basically made up on a problem-based cases as
interactive clinical cases. Lessons will follow a specific program in attach
Mandatory practical exercises will be dedicated to the following topics:
Basic CPR-D (4 hrs)
Approach to the trauma patient (4 hrs)
Advanced clinical casess (4 hrs)
Students will be organised in small groups that will be assigned to
specific topics on a rotation basis (as stated in the yearly program.
The professionalizing internship provides for the mandatory attendance
of the Emergency Department according to the
attached scheme. The frequency of the operating theaters and the
Intensive Care Unit can instead be agreed on a voluntary basis with Prof.
Cammarota.

The program proposes an approach to clinical problems for the most part
known by the students, but faced according to a methodology proper to
the emergency conditions.
This methodology goes beyond the traditional schemes of the
nosographic classification of diseases, trying to go through the criteria for
defining severity and symptomatic approach, postponing the goal of a
refined and definitive diagnosis.
This approach takes into account the need to guarantee the student the
ability to face a clinical condition where the decision on medical behavior
must be rapid and aimed at stabilizing and improving the patient's
clinical conditions by acting according to largely codified schemes.
Handling emergency situations personally will probably be one of the first
tasks in the young doctor's professional activity; this frequently occurs in
the absence of specific experience that puts him in a position to be able
to deal with them with confidence and professionalism.

The course has not been blocked from previous years but it is hoped to
have passed pharmacology, medical and surgical clinic

All lesson topics will be prepared in .pwp and / or text files that will be
made available at the end of the lessons
The lessons, in frontal teaching during the scheduled hours, will mostly
have a problem-based imprint with interactive clinical cases
Lessons will be held according to the attached program

Admission to the exam will be linked to the frequency of lessons, the
frequency of exercise activities (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation courses,
Approach to the traumatized patient).

Multiple choice quiz.
Admission to the exam will be linked to the frequency of lessons, the
frequency of exercise activities (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation courses,
Approach to the traumatized patient).
The final exam will consist of a preliminary test of 80 quizzes focused on
the topics and material presented in the course. The first 40 quizzes will
be considered basic for passing the course, and the student must
correctly answer at least 25 in order to pass the exam

1. Basic Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (BLS 1)
2. Basic Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (BLS 2)
3. Advanced Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation 1 (ALS 1)
4. Advanced Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation 2 (ALS 2)
5. Organization of the pre-hospital emergency
6. Systematic approach to the traumatized patient
7. Systematic approach to the traumatized patient
8. Systematic approach to the traumatized patient
9. Systematic approach to the traumatized patient
10. Diagnostic and therapeutic approach to exogenous intoxications
11. Principles of oxygen therapy, invasive and non-invasive ventilation
12. Approach to the septic patient
13. Principles of locoregional and general anesthesiology
14. Principles of Pain Relief
15. Brain death and organ donation
