Medicinal gases
Typology: Online Course
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Languages: Italian
OBJECTIVES:
COURSE FOR HEALTHCARE STRUCTURES
The purpose of online training course is to provide information on the medical gases distributed and used in healthcare facilities:
- General physical and chemical characteristics of gases, containers and their contents,
- Fixed and mobile systems and equipment used to deliver medicinal gases and behaviors to be adopted,
- Security risks related to the use of gas.
NB: The course (in particular the whole Module 4) contains specific references to the Forms and to the specific Organization of the health facility in which the course is delivered. Consequently, a "personalization" of the course is necessary and foreseen before its delivery.
RECIPIENTS:
Healthcare professionals from public and private hospitals.
