Learning unit contents
Partie I : Physiopathologie cardiovasculaire
The knowledge of the normal cardiocirculatory principles of physiology is cornerstone to the approach of physiopathologic deterioration patterns as observed in acute (and chronic) cardiocirculatory failure.
Such knowledge, at the border of biochemisrty, anatomy is of paramount importance for the understanding of therapy, from pharmacology to extra-corporeal circulations.
Partie III : Pathologie rénale, hémofiltration et dialyse du patient critique
Acute renal insufficiency is frequent in intensive care units, especially after cardivascular surgery and threatens the patient's good health and his prognosis. Pathophysiological mechanisms of acute kidney injury, diagnosis procedure and medical management will be reminded in this course withan up to date on this topic performed.
This course intends to be very practical for people who wants to improve his knowledge in this field and become an expert with renal therapies.
Extrarenal therapies to replace absence (or very poor) of renal function will be explained (peritoneal dialysis, continuous hemofiltration, hemodialysis). Principle, indications and practical use of plasmapheresis will also be detailed. The advantages inconvenients and economic interest of each technic is made.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Partie I : Physiopathologie cardiovasculaire
This course makes the link between the knowledge acquired previously as nurses and aims at the understanding of complex cardio-criculatory interactions.
Partie III : Pathologie rénale, hémofiltration et dialyse du patient critique
This formation is devoted to any people who want to get formation in perfusion and technics used to treat severe renal diseases or some particular disorders : ARF, CRF, management of renal failure, renal replacement technique.
