Learning Outcomes
Knowledge:		Students will have acquired knowledge that will allow: • understand methods of anesthesiology and intensive therapy; • understand the action and indications of use of drugs used in anesthesiology; • understand the mechanism of shock formation and prevention; • know the methods of evaluating acid-cold balance and blood gases, interpret the obtained data.
Skills:		The student will be able to: • interpret the results of the intensive therapy patient's biochemical data, determine the necessary therapy corrections based on the obtained results; • draw up an enteral and/or parenteral nutrition plan for an intensive care patient.
Competencies:		The student will be able to: • in cooperation with medical personnel, determine a medical treatment plan for an individual patient in intensive therapy; • evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of medicinal treatment methods, linking them to the patient's examination data; • monitor the course of drug therapy, evaluate the results and prepare the necessary information for other medical specialists.
