Project Days for Secondary Schools

The Project Days for secondary schools took place at the Faculty of Health Studies on September 19th and 20th 2022.

The first day comprised of two parts. The first part focused on Modern Techniques of Life Saving, where the students could deepen their knowledge and practical skills when providing first aid. They could try to provide first aid on SimMan mannequins. Moreover, they could see the equipment inside the ambulance vehicle, which the faculty uses for teaching and training purposes. In the other part called Tracing the Footsteps of Bacteria, the students learned what amount of these microorganisms exist around us, how they get cultivated on agar plates, and they prepared a specimen from bacteria found inside their mouth. They also saw what the cultivation of bacteria looks like from imprints from a computer mouse, washed hands and unwashed hands, a mobile phone screen, or the tip of a nose and lips.

                                            

The theme of the following day was Medical Technology. In the first part called Electricity in a human body, the students learned that electricity has its inevitable role in a number of physiological processes. They learned how to monitor electric signals in a body and how we can use them by means of medical devices to detect various illnesses.

In the other part called Modern teaching simulators facilitating students´ training,  students got acquainted with the SimMan 3G simulator and its functions like a simulation of secretion (perspiration, tearing, foaming at the mouth and earwax). They learned about RFID technology, which enables to automatically recognize medicine, and about tools used for securing airways. They could see the simulation of an epileptic seizure and spasm and tried cardiac resuscitation.
