Aim:
The course gives knowledge of methods, technologies and systems used for intensive care and therapy in specialised health care. The course also enlightens ethical and social issues. The following goals should be fulfilled:
- Exemplify and demonstrate engineering skills regarding monitoring system, their sensors and physical principles as well as clinical applications in intensive care, anesthesia and ventilation.
- Be able to describe and assess differences and similarities between technologies used and physiological parameters measured in intensive care monitoring for adults, infants and on fetus during delivery.
- Define technical principles and applications of cardiac/heart pumps their construction, function, usefulness and physiological influence on the circulation.
- Summarise the operating theaters design, equipment and organization, and have knowledge of aseptic methods as well as working principles for different type of staff in this environment.
- Have knowledge regarding basic physical principles as well as engineering skills understanding of tissue destructive methods and instruments.
- Have knowledge and engineering skills for technologies, methods, instruments as well as applications used for endoscopy and navigation in surgery.
- Be able to reflect and discuss on ethical aspects regarding intensive care, transplantation and therapeutic systems based on ethical principles and the law.
- Exemplify risks and regulations for medical devices or medical technical products and summarise how to report incidents.

Course contents:
- Intensive care: Technical systems and clinical applications regarding intensive care, anaesthesia, ventilation, monitoring of vital parameters. Examples of application: fetus and neonatal monitoring, intensive care stations, cardiac/heart pumps.
- Therapeutic systems: Technical systems for minimally invasive surgery and their physiological background e.g. the operating theatre design and equipment, systems for navigation, simulation and surgical planning, endoscopic surgery, electro- and laser surgery. Applications from e.g. thoracic,- and neurosurgery.
- Example of project work: Endoscopic surgery, Heart assistive pumps, Anesthesia, Fetus- and labour monitoring, Neonatal care, Intensive care, Neuronavigation.
- Laboratory work: The ventilator, Electrosurgery.
