Learning outcomes
Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the risks that trigger IRS, environmental risks, basic specifics in providing first aid and targeted deployment of medical personnel in rescue operations. They learn to use improvised and standard medical aids or medical devices. Students will be able to understand the ongoing pathophysiological processes, master basic procedures of first aid, learn to evaluate priorities and on this basis will be able to act effectively. They will master the principles of sorting wounded and disabled. In education and training, emphasis is placed on the care of unconscious persons, urgent resuscitation of children and adults, haemostasis, first aid for burns and burns, first aid for intoxications, sunburn and sunstroke. They will acquire skills in the treatment of fractures and joint injuries. The content of the course is also a theoretical introduction to current and future catastrophe medicine, which first aid improvisations need to manage and how to protect their own security, where the main requirements for biomedical technology in these events and crises and what equipment is needed for which events.
Students obtain knowledge in given course in accordance with requirements and course programme.
Prerequisites
