Learning objectives

The course of Nursing and Obstetric Sciences is part of the integrated course "Surgical Medical and interdisciplinary Sciences of obstetric and gynecological interest and obstetric sciences".
The course aims to enable the student to know and understand the complexity of an operating segment, the importance of the behavior of the operators, surgical techniques, instrumentation and anesthetic techniques, even in order to provide to the student the ability to use the knowledge and understanding gained to prevent risks to patients and operators, to ensure proper assistance to the gynecological surgeon and anesthetist during surgery and provide appropriate assistance to operande and operated, as well as collaborate in the management of risk.

Course unit content

The first lessons cover topics of general nature concerning the structure of the industry operating from the point of view of prevention risk of hospital infections, biohazard, fire and explosion risk from anesthetic gases. The equipment are illustrated, such as: anesthesia machine, electrosurgery, surgical bed, as well as the plant (air conditioning, electrical system). It is examined the content of the basket for anesthesia.
In the second part of the course is analyzed the evolution of anesthetic techniques, scientific and socio-cultural changes that have resulted. Then protocols and procedures for the preparation of an operating room are analyzed, also in analogy to what can happen in the delivery room in case of emergency .
The third part is dedicated to providing the basic elements regarding general anesthesia, minor general anesthesia in spontaneous breathing, the loco-regional anesthesia. Then surgical techniques for cesarean section are illustrated, hysterectomy and minor obstetric-gynecological surgery, as well as the technique of instrumentation and responsibilities of the instrumentalist.
Last theme is risk management in health care, where in addition to a part of general nature, instruments are analyzed , such as incident reporting form and the check list.

Teaching methods

The lessons are divided into lectures, also supported by the projection of images, at the end of which workshops are planned with regard to the knowledge of surgical instruments pertaining to obstetrics and gynecology. In addition, the lectures will be complemented by an educational visit at an operating segment of new construction.

Assessment methods and criteria

The student at the end of the course will have to demonstrate knowledge and understanding about:
- structure, plant and equipment of the operating room
- structural and behavioral strategies in the prevention of risks in the operating room
- procedures and protocols for collaboration in risk management
- surgical, anesthetic and instrumentation techniques of obstetric-gynecological pertinence
The student moreover, applying the knowledge and understanding acquired, will be able, also collaborating with other professionals, to be ready to acquire the practical skills of the opening of an operating room, anesthesiologist assistance, assistance to the gynecologist during interventions with particular attention to preventing risks.
Methods of Assessment
The assessment of the achievement of the objectives of the course involves n oral examination.
Through questions regarding the course content, it will be determined if the student has achieved the goal of knowledge and understanding of the content.
Alfieri
The achievement of the learning objectives evaluated through an oral exam, about the contents covered. Questions on the topics related to the course content will be used to test the student’s knowledge and understanding in the field, and her/his ability to apply the knowledge and understanding in occupational contexts. Failed answer to one or more questions or proved insufficiency of the basic knowledge on the subject, will preclude the successful completion of the exam. Upon completion of the exam, you will define an evaluation that will contribute to the final grade of the course, based on the achievement of the objectives (excellent, good, fair, fully sufficient, barely sufficient).
