Advanced instrumentation in robotic specialties and protocols for action in highly complex emergencies
Advanced instrumentation in robotic specialties and protocols for action in highly complex emergencies
Overview
This micro-credential ensures that students acquire the necessary technical and instrumental proficiency before beginning advanced clinical practice. This knowledge is critical for high-demand specialties that utilize CR (Urology, Gynecology, General Surgery, and Thoracic Surgery).
- Perform the assembly, calibration and docking of the Da Vinci system following standardized safety protocols, ensuring that the three units (Console, Cart and Tower) are operational and synchronized before the start of any highly complex intervention.
- Differentiate and manage the specific Endowrist instruments and draping kits according to the requirements of high-demand specialties (Urology, Gynecology, General and Thoracic Surgery), rigorously monitoring the life cycles to ensure the efficiency of the material.
- Apply the protocols for immediate action in the event of system failures or critical surgical complications, performing emergency undocking maneuvers in a
to ensure patient safety and continuity of care.
Students must be between 25 and 64 years old on the date the training begins.
To complete this micro-credential, the student must hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.
Academic program
Theoretical contents of the microcredential:
1. Contextualization of demand and specific risks: analysis of surgical demand (urology; gynecology; general/digestive surgery; thoracic surgery); specific risks by specialty; high-risk positioning.
2. Emergency response protocols (robotic red code): action in massive hemorrhage (emergency undocking protocol; management of blood loss); action in cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA): prioritization; team roles; management of robotic system failures.
3. Critical care and monitoring in high-risk situations: pneumoperitoneum surveillance;
Advanced hemodynamic monitoring; management of venous and arterial access.
4. Crisis communication and human factors: high-risk communication; human factors in emergencies; legal registration and documentation.
AF1: Theoretical classes: expository, explanatory or demonstration sessions of the contents and knowledge.
AF7: Independent work: independent and self-regulated activity of the student based on the documentation and guidelines proposed in the subject, preparation of classes and exams, preparation of final reports, internship reports…
AF9: Tutoring (individual, group…): activity in which the teaching staff attends to, facilitates and guides one or more students in the training process.
AF10: Assessment: continuous assessment tests and final exams. Tests may be in person or virtual, and may be written, oral, or consist of practical exercises.
The micro-credential will be developed using an asynchronous, online methodology. It will be provided
Interactive audiovisual content, such as videos, will be accompanied by study materials, legal regulations, and required readings. Students will have access to discussion forums that encourage critical analysis and reflection on the course content.
Objective tests (true/false, multiple choice, test-type, fill-in-the-blank, ordering, etc.): These are measurement instruments that allow for the evaluation of knowledge, skills, performance, aptitudes, etc. The answers are closed-ended, thus promoting objectivity during the scoring process.
Case studies, exercises and problems: tests in which students must solve, in a reasoned manner, within a certain time, and according to the established criteria, the cases, exercises or problems posed by the teaching staff, with the aim of applying the knowledge acquired.
