Aims
To teach future doctors who are candidates for specialisation in anaesthesiology some notions of physics, physiology, pharmacology and clinical anaesthesia, essential before they start their training. These lectures are intended to be practical, and aimed at integrating the practical and theoretical aspects of clinical anaesthesia.
The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
Content
Physiology, pharmacology and physiopathology of systemic, regional and local anesthesia.
