Learning unit contents
Part I : Cardiovascular pathophysiology
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.
Part II : Respiratory pathophysiology
Knowledge of normal and pathological respiratory physiology is the cornerstone of understanding respiratory failure.
Respiratory pathophysiology class includes respiratory control, mechanical properties of the respiratory system and respiratory exchanges in normal and pathological conditions.
Part III : Renal pathology, hemofiltration and dialysis of critical patient
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
Part I : Cardiovascular pathophysiology
This course makes the link between the knowledge acquired previously as nurses and aims at the understanding of complex cardio-criculatory interactions.
Part II : Respiratory pathophysiology
From basic knowledge of respiratory physiology, this course aims at a better understanding of pathological conditions encountered by the respiratory system.
Part III : Renal pathology, hemofiltration and dialysis of critical patient
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.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Part II : Respiratory pathophysiology
The basics in anatomy and respiratory physiology were acquired during the previous cursus of nurse specialised in emergency and intensive care
Part III : Renal pathology, hemofiltration and dialysis of critical patient
Nurses or doctors
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Part I : Cardiovascular pathophysiology
Ex-cathedra courses
Part II : Respiratory pathophysiology
The acquisition of knowledge is done during clinical case resolution workshops.
Part III : Renal pathology, hemofiltration and dialysis of critical patient
Demonstration of procedures of hemodialysis, continuous hemofiltration and plasmapheresis are organized in the dialysis and intensive care units
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Part II : Respiratory pathophysiology
The course is a mix of workshops aiming at solving clinical cases and ex-catedra lessons.
Part III : Renal pathology, hemofiltration and dialysis of critical patient
Face to face
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Recommended or required readings
Part II : Respiratory pathophysiology
Course notes necessary to solve clinical cases are available on the my ulg website of my course.
Part III : Renal pathology, hemofiltration and dialysis of critical patient
The diaporama introduced during lesson will be available on the MyUlg website and/or supplied slideshow will be available after each course.
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Part I : Cardiovascular pathophysiology
Wirtten exam, SROQ et VIVA
Part II : Respiratory pathophysiology
The exam consists in multiple choice questions with justification of the answers.
Part III : Renal pathology, hemofiltration and dialysis of critical patient
Assessment methods to evaluate the students and to deliberate are to be consulted on the website of theFaculty of Medecine:
