Learning objectives
The educational objective of the course is to provide notions related to the different drugs used in Dentistry, such as local anesthesia, analgesics and drugs for any sedation (conscious, deep). Also: anxiety medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers and non-steroidal antipyretics (NSAIDs). Other pain medications. Drugs active on the cardiovascular system.
In particular, we want to offer the opportunity to approach in a practical way, from an anesthetic point of view, to:
- evaluation of patients to be subjected to loco-regional anesthesia, sedation, analgesia or general anesthesia
- know how to distinguish the pharmacological principles of the various anesthetic behaviors
- evaluate the monitoring of vital parameters for different patients and the different types of "anesthesia"
- learn how to recognize and manage emergency situations
Finally, we want to offer tools to ensure adequate preparation for the initial management of the emergency in the hospital, giving the opportunity to address the clinical problems of the emergency, through theoretical and practical training, and acquire the methodology that allows to deal with the emergency effectively.
Prerequisites

Course unit content
During the course the main anesthetic techniques will be addressed, such as loco-regional anesthesia, sedation and the main analgesia techniques. Through practical exercises each student will be able to understand the importance of the pre-procedure anesthesia evaluation of the different patients, of the anesthetic drugs and of the clinical monitoring of the patient. In addition, the main issues related to emergency management in the hospital (and outside) will be illustrated, evaluating real clinical problems, through theoretical and practical training. The appropriate methodology will be provided to enable the emergency to be dealt with effectively.

Teaching methods
The course will be held through lectures (Practical exercises and case) to Students either in the classroom (“in presenza”) or in synchronous-streaming (“in telepresenza”) on the Teams platform. Therefore, the opportunity of Student/Teacher interaction will be preserved both face to face and remotely, by the simultaneous use of the Teams platform.
Lectures will be supported by slide presentations, which will be available to students on the Elly platform (https://elly.medicina.unipr.it).
Assessment methods and criteria
The student’s knowledge, topics’ comprehension and her/his skill to apply them on the occupational contexts will be evaluated by questions on the topics related to the course content. 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. In case of completion of the exam, an evaluation that contributes to the final grade of the course will be defined and it will be based on the achievement of the objectives (excellent, good, fair, fully sufficient, barely sufficient).
In case of the persistence of the health emergency, the exams will be conducted remotely, as follows:
remote oral questions, through the Teams platform (guide http://selma.unipr.it/).
