1655-Lek6SP4-J
Classes are designed to acquire and consolidate knowledge in the field of anesthesiology. Acquiring basic knowledge of drugs used in anaesthesiology of anesthetic management in various clinical situations, using the appropriate type of anesthesia for a given adult patient and child. Students acquire practical skills performed in the operating theater (airway opening, vessel cannulation, patient monitoring, ALS, BLS.
