Clinical Treatment in Clinical Laboratory Work (5 cr)

Objective

Learning outcomes
As a student, you identify emergency situations, the most common sudden attacks of illness and the need for help, and are able to act systematically in such cases. You are able to examine the patient’s vitals using the ABCDE method and provide symptomatic first aid. You know how to act in emergencies and accidents and start resuscitating. You know how to monitor a patient’s respiration and blood circulation and to help, if needed. You understand the importance of fluid balance for the functioning of the human body. You know the basic concepts of medical treatments. You are familiar with pain-relief methods in sampling and, if necessary, are able to apply them when taking samples or conducting patient examinations. You understand the safety factors involved in patient handling and know how to work ergonomically. You understand work load factors and how to manage them. You understand the importance of cooperation between the laboratory and the care unit in the treatment of patients and are able to describe the activities of the laboratory and the care unit as part of the client’s treatment and service chain. You possess some of the treatment skills needed in the biomedical laboratory scientist’s job.
