Annotation
Practical skills in perioperative medicine:
The aim of this course is to teach students in small groups main practical skills in perioperative medicine.
Students will be allocated into small groups (2-4 students) and will learn how to perform bag-mask ventilation, insertion of oral and nasal airway, insertion of different types of supraglottic airway devices, how to intubate trachea. They will also learn how to apply basic monitoring in the operating room and perform/assist during insertion of peripheral venous access, central venous access and arterial access.
Students will undergo two to three optional workshops - Advance Life Support Management, VIVA Airway Management
Stations and Canulation/Surgical Airway Station.
