Learning Outcomes of the Curricular Unit:
The study of hematology and hematological tests are so used in the diagnosis, prognosis, and monitoring diseases. All information collected will be of value when obtained with the requisite accuracy from the blood collection to the issue of an analytical report. Thus it is intended, with this discipline, that the student can understand, perform and interpret properly any hematological determination and fit it, within the limits of their functions, the general analytical profile and available clinical information of the patient concerned.
Syllabus:
Hematopoiese Basic hematological study. Automation in hematology: challenges Erythrogram: Normal profile and changes 1)Normochromic/Normocitic anemias ( Congenital hemolytics; Due to metabolic pathway deficiency; Hemolytics acquired; Immune) 3)Hypochromic and microcytic anemias: Ferropénics; Sideroblásticas; Related to hemoglobin synthesis abnormalities; Thalassemia hemoglobinopathies Megaloblastic Anemias 4) Basic study of coagulation; General bases of hypocoagulant treatment.
Demonstration of the Syllabus Coherence with the Curricular Unit's Objectives:
Quality of health services depends on both people and appropriate systems and techniques. In this context, health professionals should play an active role based on ethics, rigor and theoretical and practical knowledge appropriate to the challenges and needs they face. We are all in favor of Quality in everything around us, and today it is imperative in any credible service or institution, particularly in health.
Teaching Methodologies (Including Evaluation):
The acquired knowledge will be evaluated continuously and periodically. In the continuous assessment, parameters such as attendance, interest, participation and attitude towards the themes contribute. The weighting will be 10%.Periodic evaluation means two written evaluation moments whose classification will have a translation on a scale of 0 to 20 values. The weight will be 45 + 45%. The student is considered 'approved' if he / she meets all assessment times. Students who obtain in the written evaluation results between 8.0 and 9.4 values must be subjected to an oral test. Practical Assessment: Average of the forms (40%), attendance and participation (10%) , Exame PL (50%)
Demonstration of the Coherence between the Teaching Methodologies and the Learning Outcomes:
In this course students acquire theoretical and theoretical-practical knowledge in the classroom that will support practical classes where they will learn to perform basic techniques of hematological analysis (manual and automated). Begin the techniques of obtaining, separating and preserving biological products (particularly venipuncture) to the calculation and critical interpretation of results. Finally they will do both in the laboratory and in the classroom, with experienced teachers in the area, the interpretation of analytical results and clinical cases. They will also learn rules of posture, security, hierarchy, respect and confidentiality required not only by the profession but by current legislation.
