Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
Active learning with the aim of developing knowledge in students, in companion animals, production and sports, in the areas of:
- anesthesia consultation and anesthetic risk assessment;
- approach to pain;
- multimodal anesthetic approach;
- balanced approach to pain in the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative periods;
- Anesthetic monitoring.
The student must acquire the following skills, by knowing how to:
- propose a clinical approach in anesthesia consultation;
- classify anesthetic risk based on the ASA classification;
- apply and interpret a scale of acute pain and propose an integrated approach to the classification obtained;
- propose a multimodal analgesic and anesthetic approach;
- interpret the data of the monitoring and ventilation of a patient during the intraoperative period.
- correctly fill in an anesthesia form.

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of sedatives, hypnotics, muscle relaxants, and analgesics or with analgesic properties.
Pathophysiology of pain, pain scales, and multimodal approach to pain.
Ventilation: ventilatory physiology, modalities, and parameters.
Monitoring of cardiovascular function, brain function, and respiratory function.
Approach to anesthetic complications.
Anesthetic approach to patients with heart, kidney, and respiratory disease.

Teaching Methods
Whenever possible the flipped pedagogical methodology will be the approach to adopt. Students will be provided with various didactic support before or during class, and practical application issues will be discussed. Clinical problems focused on the competences to be acquired by the student will be made available, and the students must propose integrated and supported solutions.
Attendance to a minimum of 75% of practical classes is mandatory.
Attendance to a minimum of 75% of practical classes is mandatory.
Assessment
A final written or oral theoretical assessment in a single moment and an oral practical assessment in a single moment. The final grade will result from an average between the final theoretical assessment moment X 0.65 + the practical component assessment moment X 0.35. Partial scores for both components must be above 10 points.
