Learning outcomes of the curricular unit:

At the end of the UC students should develop skills to:

  • Be able to describe the fundamentals of clinical practice related physiology of mechanical ventilation and its implication in the physiopathology of individuals in Intensive Care;
  • Know how to select the interface and adapt the user to non-invasive mechanical ventilation;
  • Describe the process of evaluation of the users in intensive care;
  • Describe and apply adequately the usual assessment and treatment techniques of respiratory physiotherapy in Intensive Care;
  • Select and use the means of personal protection in their intervention, according to the clinical profile of the user;
  • Select and use appropriately the instruments needed to evaluate the results of their intervention;
  • Apply the recommendations according to level of evidence and degree of recommendation of the main treatment techniques used in cardiorespiratory physiotherapy, in order to implement good practices in Physical Therapy;
  • Describe and apply adequately evidence-based standards and practice associated with infection control associated with health care;
  • Base the options of evaluation and intervention throughout the decision-making process and Physiotherapy, according to an evidence-based practice;
  • Develop programs to prevent and promote the well-being of the individual in different health contexts;
  • Adequate physical exercise programs or physical activity for special groups, in a safe environment, according to the guidelines defined for a special group;
  • Transmitting knowledge of BLS and ALS notions, giving students the ability to act appropriately in situations of emergency
