Reference Texts
To successfully take the exam, simply follow the lessons and stick to the material provided. For any further information on specific topics: "L’infermiere in Rianimazione, di Yazid Rouichi e Christophe Prudhomme"; "Infermieristica in terapia intensiva.

Learning Outcomes
The objective of the module is to empower students to assess clinical problems, predominantly known by students, employing a methodology tailored for urgent situations. This approach diverges from conventional disease classification methods, instead focusing on severity criteria and symptomatic approaches, while deferring the pursuit of advanced and conclusive diagnoses
Prerequisites
Knowledge of pharmacology, physiology and internal medicine.
Teaching Methods
MS Power-Point presentations, didactic videos, presentation of clinical cases, Clinical simulations on mannequins

Expected Learning Outcomes
We expect the student to know and understand the basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation protocol and how to activate the emergency system; we also expect him/her to know and understand the
particularities of advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the peculiarities of the approach to the polytrauma patient. The student should come to know how and when to administer oxygen therapy and non-invasive ventilation. The student should know when to request the
intervention of an intensivist by recognizing the criteria for the application of non-invasive and invasive ventilation. The students should
also be able to gain more in-depth knowledge of basic neurological, respiratory and hemodynamic monitoring.
