4. Modelling of the respiratory system.

5. Experiment for work of breathing evaluation.

6. Measurement on blood-gas analyser Compact 3.

7. Measurement on a device for anaesthesia.

Study Objective:

The aim of the subject is to give the students overview of the basic equipment of the intensive care units or departments of anaesthesia and critical care medicine. It involves life-supporting devices, especially for artificial lung ventilation, monitors of the patient's physiologic parameters, equipment for anaesthesia, etc.
