Pre-graduate study

1. Critical patient at urgent care medicine – primary, secondary examination according to ABCDE-ERC principles, basic stabilization of VF according to ABCDE, delivery of iv. / i.o. access (METI simulations, diagnostics of pathological condition + basic stabilization ABC),
2. BLS adults, children, newborns – AMBUman simulation,
3. Secure airway and ventilation management (maneuvers, airways, supraglottic devices, intubation, coniotomy, ventilation with an ambuvac) – tech skill models,
4. Critical cardiovascular conditions (AMI, EAP, ECG waveform analysis, tachycardia, bradycardia, defibrillation, cardioversion, pacing - according to ERC) - METI simulations,
5. ALS adults, AMBUman simulation,
6. Trauma (hemorrhagic shock, neurogenic, spinal shock, immobilization and fixation, management of life-threatening bleeding according to ABCDE principles, stoppable bleeding, removal of a mobilized patient from a vehicle) METI simulations,
7. Test.

1. Introduction to urgent care medicine (pre-hospital urgent care medi-cine, organization of emergency health system, hospital urgent care medicine, initial diagnosis and critical patient care),
2. Shock (forms of shock, clinical symptons, recognition, initial tre-atment),
3. Cardiovascular system – critical conditions, chest pain dif dg. (critical coronary syndroms, arrhythmia, cardiac failure, EAP – recognition ur-gent treatment),
4. Respiratory system – acute conditions, dyspnoea in different diseases (respiratory failure, aspiration syndromes, pneumo/fluido/hemo-thorax, asthma, COPD, inflammatory diseases),
5. Central nervous system – critical conditions, disorders of conscious-ness in different diseases (stroke, seizures, intoxications, hy-po/hyperglycemia),
6. Trauma (definition of polytrauma, general principles of initial man-agement, injury mechanisms - head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, limbs, heat, cold, electric shock, crush syndrome),
7. Events with mass casualties (organization of rescue units and medical facilities, primary, secondary triage, actions provided in MCE (Mass Casualty Event), emergency assembly area, documentation manage-ment in MCE - sorting cards.
