DAY 1 – “EXPEDITION”

Jana Kubalová started with a perfect interactive presentation about altitude sicknesses followed by other expedition medicine issues presented by Kristina Höschlová and Jirka Chvojka.

High mountain environment was simulated by several videos presenting the altitude related emergencies as well by a practice in telemedicine.

 

     

It was our great pleasure to welcome about 10 of our former DiMM graduates which joined the group for the weekend and gladly participated in the educative program.

Each of them simulated a “Doctor on Call” giving consultation to the alpinists asking for help.

In the evening, Lucka Langová presented with a lot of humour the principles of Basic Life Support.
