Experiences of Electrolyte and Acid-base Disorders Teaching in Anesthesia Students

Introduction: Since the topic of water and electrolyte disorders in the field of medical sciences is a very important topic and this issue in anesthesia students compared to other students due to the nature of Anna s field is several times more important, we decided to study the present study with the aim Experiences of electrolyte and acid-base disorders teaching in anesthesia students. Material and Methods: This study was conducted as a clinical experiment in Tabriz University of Medical Sciences with the participation of anesthesia students [before the internship]. The relevant professor conducted the topic of water and electrolyte disorders in two ways of group discussion [problem solving] with the method of lecture on clinical reasoning for students and finally their scores were compared with each other. Results: A covariance analysis model was used to investigate the relationship between different factors and clinical reasoning score. The results show that there is only a significant relationship between pre-internship score and clinical reasoning score [p-value 0.05]. Conclusion: In this study, it was found that in comparing the two methods of teaching lecture and problem solving, although the amount of learning in the two methods did not show a statistically significant difference, but the interns clinical reasoning scores in the problem-solving method were higher than the lecture method.
