This course is available only for experts

Academy eModules are online eBooks, real time editable by Authors, searchable and based on microlearning strategy (small chapters of self contained information).

Most old PACT modules have been transcripted and updated into an evidence based, microlearning, interactive eLearning curriculum. For all those old PACT modules without the equivalent ACE courses, we still provide them through the Collaboration application as eModules.

The ESICM Academy eLearning platform is a collection of web applications and web services that integrate to support ESICM’s long distance learning program as well as provide the online part of blended learning projects.

To successfully develop this,  a state of the art IT solution is used which allows the presentation of the up to date educational material written by experts in the field.

This course, entitled Guide to authors, is designed to help authors plan and present their educational material in a standard format. It pertains specifically to authors of ESICM ACE Courses. However, the course is also useful for reviewers, editors, educators and learner alike.

We hope you enjoy the course and find it useful. 

Welcome to the e-learning course on infusion pumps!

This e-learning consists of theory and cases. The theory covers the ‘Physical Effects’ and the ‘Maintenance and metrology for infusion devices’. If you’re finished reading the theory, the cases will provide you with examples from day-to-day practice. Some cases are specific for the practice of the (Neonatal) Intensive Care. Each case has about four questions that you need to answer. The case is completed when a sufficient number of correct answers is given. The e-learning is completed when all the cases have been completed.

Enjoy!

Background e-learning

For more than 25 years, multiple drug infusions through one injection point (multi-infusion) have been known to cause severe dosing errors. A large percentage of these errors can be avoided if the users of infusion technology have a better understanding of the equipment. Therefore, it is very important to create awareness and understanding of the physics and metrology (science of measurement) involved to the users of infusion technology. This e-learning Course (eCourse) aims at improving the general understanding of multi-infusion in order to avoid dosing errors. The eCourse is the result of the scientific activities of the project Standards and e-learning course to maximise the uptake of infusion and calibration best practices (Project Number: 15SIP03) funded by the European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (The EMPIR is jointly funded by the EMPIR participating countries within EURAMET and the European Union).
