Teaching Methodologies
The teaching of the course is divided into three components: T, TP and P. The pedagogical methods applied to the T and TP according to the proposed program, using audio visual technics: b) the interactive method, with discussion of relief themes introduced in class, and that allow a practical integration of theoretical concepts.
In the P component, students are part of the multidisciplinary team, under the supervision of a teacher, developing in a real context the instrumental skills resulting from the theoretical training process.
The evaluation of the course unit takes the form of a written test in the T and TP component (with a weighting of 70%), and practical evaluation / continuous evaluation in the P component (with a weighting of 30%). The minimum grade for each evaluation is 9 points, with the approval classification of 10 points. The exam evaluations fall within the stipulated in the Academic Regulation
Learning Results
The student must acquire knowledge about:
– Home respiratory care.
– Provision of Ventilotherapy, Oxygen Therapy and Aerosol Therapy services.
– Non-invasive ventilation, equipment, interfaces and accessories for laboratory and home adaptation.
– Theoretical and theoretical-practical knowledge as a basis for practical application of the knowledge involved in home respiratory care procedures.
The student must acquire competences and skills of:
– Implement non-invasive ventilation treatments, the interface and other accessories.
– Perform and interpret reports of non-invasive ventilation equipment.
– Implementing oxygen therapy treatments
– Implementing Aerosol Therapy treatments
– Adopt appropriate procedures in the use of equipment with a view to optimizing patient treatment.
