Anaesthesiology in Paediatrics II (RNM_050)
About Study Course
Objective
To ensure possibility to master knowledge on ensurance particularities of airways and breathing and anesthesia methods in pediatrics in order to be able to ensure independently airways, breathing and temporary anesthesia for children in emergency situations in the prehospital and hospital Admission Department’s phase till the delivery of the patient in the operation hall.
Learning outcomes
1.The student will know:
• Explain the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the respiratory tract according to the child's age.

• Formulate the characteristics of anesthesia at the child's age.
• Explain specific aspects of pain and analgesia in pediatrics, interpret pain assessment.
1.The student will be able to:
• choose and practically implement airway opening and maintenance methods in pediatrics and use oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways, tracheal intubation, alternative airway management methods: laryngeal mask, COPA
• practically evaluate the level of pain and sedation in children;
• monitor vital functions during anesthesia and potential side effects of anesthesia and analgesia;
will be able to apply the following algorithms:
• difficult airway algorithm for a child;
• rapid intubation algorithm for a child in an emergency situation.
1.Student will be able to choose independently and realize practically the ensurance of airways for a child as well as a temporary anesthesia and analgesia for children in emergency situations, including during the diagnostic procedures and manipulations in the prehospital and hospital Admission Department’s phase.
