Course objectives
Practical instruction at the patient’s bedside is part of the course. The students learn to be capable of examining 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.
