Techniques of Medical Procedures
1655-Lek12TECH-J
The subject of techniques of medical procedures aims to develop skills in basic nursing, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures which are necessary in every-day work of various departments of a multi-specialized hospital.
The tutorials will provide students with the necessary practical skills related to the care of hospitalized patients. These skills will include: the general principles related to the care of hospitalized patients; asepsis and antisepsis; familiarity with the required equipment used in basic nursing, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; the assessment of basic vital signs; the different routes of administration of various medicines; the implementation of proper therapeutic techniques in basic healthcare.
