KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
To define the characteristics that identify a patient as critically ill. To understand the characteristics of the care settings that manage the critically ill (semi-intensive and intensive).
To know and to understand the essential concepts of physiology and physiopathology associated with vital criticality and the resulting clinical-care implications.
To know and to be able to identify the main clinical situations associated with vital criticality of surgical, internal medicine or intensive care interest.
To know and to understand the rational basis of the main interventions to support vital functions.
To know how to recognize a person in cardiac arrest and how to manage cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
To implement a systematic approach to the patient in critical conditions that allows for the rapid identification of life-threatening situations.
To identify, describing the rational basis, the appropriate stabilization and life support interventions to be implemented with surgical and medical treatments and with resuscitation procedures, under a multi-professional approach.
To design standardized and individual monitoring plans (clinical, laboratory, functional, instrumental, non-invasive and invasive).
JUDGMENT ABILITY
To identify clinical situations of vital criticality through correct and complete diagnostic reasoning based on the assessment data (clinical, instrumental and laboratory semiotics) and on knowledge of pathology, physiopathology and clinical nursing.
To acquire and interpret diagnostic data (clinical, laboratory, functional, instrumental) according to a physiopathological and decision-making rationale.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
To demonstrate the ability to use correct and appropriate technical-professional terminology to describe the health problems highlighted, the objectives established and the actions taken.
LEARNING SKILLS
To prepare for exams by individually planning and managing study based on the content of the lessons, the teaching material provided and the sources suggested for further study.

The general objective of the course is to provide knowledge of the essential concepts of physiopathology and clinical practice associated with vital criticality, to implement a systematic approach to the patient in critical conditions, allowing for the rapid identification of life-threatening situations.
At the end of the course, the student must: be able to correctly frame, from a physiopathological and clinical point of view, patients affected by acute and rapidly evolving pathology of surgical, internal medicine or intensive care etiology; demonstrate knowledge and - to the extent of competence - ability to apply the most appropriate interventions for life support and etiological treatment; be able to acquire and interpret monitoring data (clinical, laboratory, functional, instrumental) according to a physiopathological and decision-making rationale; establish care priorities, justifying the selection criteria, in the interventions to be activated on a patient with clinical criticality.

Learning assessment is carried out by completing partial tests relating to the individual Modules, as described in detail in the respective Syllabi. The exam sessions are scheduled by the Teachers responsible for the individual Modules on the Esse3 platform. To take the exam, the student must register for the session of interest on the Esse3 platform within the established deadlines. The results of each partial test are published on the same platform. The grade of the partial test is valid until the extraordinary session of the relevant academic year. To pass the exam relating to each module, the student must obtain a grade ≥ 18 in each of the partial tests. The result of the partial test cannot be refused. The grade of the entire Integrated Course can be refused and, in this case, the student must repeat all the partial tests. The final grade of the exam of the integrated course derives from the average of the grades obtained in the individual partial tests; the average will be weighted based on the CFU of each module. For the purposes of defining the average, any honors obtained in the partial tests are assigned the value of 1 point, i.e. a grade of 30 with honors in the partial tests corresponds for the purposes of the average to a score of 31. To assign honors to the final exam grade, the weighted average obtained in the partial tests relating to the various modules must be >30.5.
