Year 5 : Anaesthesia & ITU (AN & ITU)

Teaching Material for this Module

Introduction

In the Anaesthesia and ICU module you will learn valuable skills that enable you to recognise sick or deteriorating patients and initiate appropriate steps for first management. You will learn techniques on how to deal with complex clinical situations in a systematic manner and know when to refer for specialist help.

This three week module has been designed to expose you to a range of acutely unwell patients in different clinical settings and at different stages of their disease.

 During your time on the anaesthetic firm, you will follow your patients on their journey; note how they are prepared; witness and reflect upon the practicalities of informed consent and the legal and ethical principles that underpin it.
