Participants
The course could be of interest for nephrologists, emergency physicians, intensivists, anestesiologists and nurses in these specialties.
Course description
The course is based on the basics of applied physiopatology to explain the main acid-base and electrolytes clinical disturbances. The didactic strategy is aimed to actively involve the audience in making diagnosis on a huge number of "real life" clinical cases.
A small electronic library will be at the disposal of participants, so that they can copy some of the best papers about the subject on USB keys.
Learning objectives
To provide a simple diagnostic approach and get the audience confident on the therapeutic priorities.
