Course objectives
Practical instruction at the patient’s bedside is part of the course. At the end of the course students should be able to examine the nutritional state of a particular patient, to quantify the severity of his/her nutrition disorder and, basing on this, to decide on the respective suitable type of nutritional support. They learn to follow the patient in the course of the support, including patients with artificial nutrition, especially if applied by enteral probe. In these patients the students are capable of monitoring the tolerance to enteral nutrition, its effect, undesirable effects, and complications. The curriculum also includes economic and ethical aspects of nutritional support, understanding of clinical research results, and an outline of possible advances in the near future.
Learning outcomes
Student will be able to identify the nutritional problem after graduation, to apply various ways of dietary intervention, their monitoring and evaluation. He will also be able to understand the results of clinical research.
