General information

Academic year:
2025
Description:
There will be concepts of chest anatomy and biomechanics as well as the physiology and pathophysiology of the heart and respiratory diseases. Also the physical properties of the locomotor system, the defense mechanisms of the air will be learned. Knowledge of the main respiratory diseases (obstructive and restrictive) as well as the main heart diseases and its effects will be studied. The main respiratory explorations will be explained. And the basis for the main ventilatory and airway drainage techniques will be learned, as well as the main methods of cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation.

    Assessment and Grading

    Assessment activities:

    Description of the activity Assessment Activity % Remediable subject
    final theoretical exam, which will have a weight of 55% of the final note of the subject It is essential to obtain a minimum grade of 5 to be able to average with the other assessments, otherwise the grade will not average with the rest and will be suspended 55 Yes
    Carrying out a continuous assessment test in the middle of the course. its value in the final grade will be 10% (only in the case that it is passed with a minimum mark of 4.5) It is essential to obtain a minimum mark of 4.5 to be able to do average with the other evaluations, otherwise the note will not do average with the rest and will be suspended 10 No
    Final practical exam, which will have a weight of 35% of the final note of the course is essential to obtain a minimum mark of 5 to be able to do average with the other evaluations, otherwise the note will not do average with the rest and will be suspended 35 Yes

    Grading

    There will be a theoretical exam and a practical exam. There will also be a continuous assessment exam in the middle of the course.

    It is essential to pass the theoretical final exam and the practical final exam with a minimum grade of 5 in order to be able to average. 55% of the final grade will be from the theoretical exam. 35% of the final grade will be from the practical exam. 10% of the final grade will be from the continuous assessment exam. The final exams can be taken both theoretically and practically even if the continuous assessment exam has not been passed.

    Those who do not pass the theoretical or practical assessment exam will have the opportunity to take the basic competences exam (BCE) in order to pass. The subject will be passed with a minimum overall grade point average of 5

    Specific criteria for the "No show" grade:
    A student who is not presented will be considered a student who does not appear in the continuous assessment or in the final assessment.

    Single Assessment:
    The evaluation system of the EUSES - center attached to the UdG is, in general, the continuous evaluation. If the student wishes to take the single assessment, he / she must communicate this in writing to the teacher responsible for the subject and to the degree coordinator during the first two weeks of the semester.

    Minimum requirements to pass:
    To be considered to have passed the subject, a minimum grade of 5.0 must be obtained.

    Mentorship

    The tutorials will be carried out in person in the enabled classrooms and also in a virtual way.

    Communication and interaction with students

    Communication and interaction with students will be done in person and virtually and will use the moodle news and announcements forum, video conferencing and email.

    Remarks

    It is mandatory to attend the practical classes with the appropriate clothing (uniform and size for the bunk bed). It will also not be allowed to practice with rings, watches, bracelets, earrings or any element that may be detrimental to the comfort and safety of students during the execution of the various physiotherapy maneuvers.

    It is essential to take care of body hygiene. The student must attend the practice with his hair gathered, his nails short and unpainted.


    Learning outcomes:

    - Knowing the physiological and structural changes occuring as a result of the application of respiratory physiotherapy and cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.
    - Assessing the cardiac pulmonary patient based on auscultation and complementary tests.
    - Applying the physiotherapeutic techniques of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation depending on the patient.
    - Retraining the chronic cardiopulmonary patient in exercise.

    Recommended subjects

    • Patologia Cardiorespiratòria

Communication and interaction with the students will take place virtually, through the forum of Moodle, video-conferencing means and email.
    The teaching activities will be carried out through online platforms (theoretical activities, practical activities and simulations of case studies).

    Amendment of the assessment:

    The evaluation will be as follows:

    Theoretical part: Case study-based assessment using the Moodle platform. (the assessment rules will be the previously established in the subject)

    Practical part: Short theoretical exam on practical aspects and assessment of skills to perform the techniques by recording the student

    Mentoring and communication:
    Scenario I. In person: the tutorials will be carried out in person in enabled classrooms.
