This module includes revision (40 hours) of patophysiology of cardio-respiratory failure and technology employed in Intensive Care Unit (I.C.U.), insisting on the team work aspect.
It is important to have a knowledge of how to assess comprehensively a patient in I.C.U. and formulate appropriate problem list.
A physiotherapeutic approach in I.C.U. is important with an insight into possible dangers, precautions and contraindications which may be observed when working in I.C.U.
After this theoretical approach to I.C.U., the students should participate (20 hours) in the reality of I.C.U. where they should treat with the constant supervision of a lecturer/ physiotherapist, patients admitted to an I.C.U.
