Abstract

Educational portal AKUTNE.CZ is a strategic and long-term activity of the Faculty of Medicine at Masaryk University. Its main goal is to innovate teaching of clinical reasoning, especially in the field of acute medicine. Methodology for the collaborative work of certified physician-teacher with students at the fifth and the sixth grades was prepared. Algorithms were submitted via online forms with the use of a backend web application PHP / MySQL / Flash. For each algorithm, the app generated a unique XML document. This document is rendered on the frontend app into a flash object, which includes a description of the scenarios, links to alternative decisions, additional data on physical and laboratory measurements and finally time-stress factor. Twelve algorithms were created including following topics: Analgesia in Private Practice, Syncope, Severe Allergic Reaction, Toxic Reaction to Local Anesthesia in Dentistry, Toxic Reactions to local anesthetics, Syncope in Dentistry, Analgesia in Dentistry, Acute coronary syndrome, Water Rescue I, II, Water Rescue , hypothermia, Car Accident. Students involved in the creation of the interactive algorithms are among the best in class and often continue to take their job in our clinic of anesthesia, resuscitation and intensive medicine.
