Eletrodiagnóstico

Analysis of elementary electrical circuitry

Oral exposition of the programmatic contents in the theoretical classes.

Supervised performance of practical work illustrative of the programmatic content and conducive to the acquisition of the expected competences.

To know the physiological mechanisms that are the basis of bioelectrical phenomena, and the dynamical characteristics of these signals.

To know the main types of electrodes used in the measurement of bioelectrical signals, and undertand their working principle.

To know the electrical risks associated with the measurement of bioelectrical signals, and what galvanic isolation techniques can be used to protect patients.

To know how to analyze circuits with operational amplifiers and instrumentation amplifiers used in the measurement of bioelectrical signals.

Introduction to transport phenomena

Fundamental principles of electrophysiology

Dynamic characteristics of bioelectrical signals

Electrodes for measuring biopotentials

Electrical safety

Instrumentation for measurement of biopotentials

Evaluation of the theoretical component by individual final examination, without consultation, with quotation (E) between 0 and 5 values. The examinations contained in the regulations in force in the ISEC will be carried out.

Continuous evaluation of the practical laboratory component with two modalities (A and B). The final classification of this component (L) will be the sum of the classifications of both modalities:

A: Nine supervised works to be carried out in groups following a script, evaluated through oral reports with quotation from 0 to 1 value per work. Only the elements of the groups present in the class will be quoted and there will be no recovery of absences, justified or not.

B: Two individual practice exams with quotation from 0 to 3 values each.

Students who in the laboratory component (L) obtain a quotation higher than 7.50 values and with a final classification greater than 9.50 values will get approved.

The final classification will be the sum of components E and L.

Students with worker-student status and other students subject to special schemes compatible with the dispensation or reduction of minimum attendance levels, if it is found that the maximum limit of absences has been exceeded, a Practical-Laboratory Assessment test will be performed in place of the continuous evaluation with a quotation from 0 to 15 values to be performed on the same day as the Normal Exam. This test will be extended to students who fail the laboratory practice component (L < 7.50).
