The new scenarios in anesthesia procedures in critically ill patients motivate us to propose new training programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate advances in anesthesia procedures management in critically ill patients into their medical practice”

The evolution of anesthesiology toward the concept of perioperative medicine has required greater professional involvement in critically ill patient management.

The complexity of critical care medicine translates into great diversity in the medical and surgical management of critically ill patients. Hence, there is an interest and a need to increase knowledge, analysis, and intervention in the field of Critical Care Medicine. It is therefore necessary to make a commitment to reality, which implies furthering knowledge and generating conditions that improve patient health.

This Postgraduate Certificate covers the advances made in the last decade in the discipline, reviewing the major clinical syndromes of critical medicine.

Advances in neurological and hemodynamic monitoring, new ventilation and lung protection strategies, ventricular assistance with significant future projection, nutritional aspects of critically ill patients, programs aimed at achieving "zero bacteremia", management of severe bleeding, as well as the integral approach to polytraumatized patients, severe burn patients, and patients undergoing transplantation (hepatic, cardiac, pulmonary, renal), donor maintenance, are, among others, extraordinarily current topics, discussed here by authors with great experience and teaching capacity.

You will be able to learn, through the latest educational technology, the most recent advances in anesthesia procedures for critical patients”

This postgraduate certificate in Critical Patients is the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features of the program include:

• Development of clinical cases, presented by specialists in anesthesiology and other specialties. Their graphic, schematic and eminently practical contents provide scientific information on the medical disciplines essential for professional practice
• Real high-resolution images of pathologies, diagnostic imaging tests and guided procedures
• Practical workshops on anesthesia procedures and techniques for critically ill patients
• An algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the clinical situations presented throughout the course
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

This postgraduate certificate may be the best investment you can make when choosing a refresher program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge of critical patients, you obtain a qualification from Critical Patients”

The teaching staff is made up of a team of leading anesthesiologists, who bring to this training the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists in other medical areas.

The multimedia content developed with the latest educational technology will provide the physician with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training programmed to train in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem Based Learning, whereby the student must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this reason, you will be assisted by an innovative, interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts in the field of psychology with extensive teaching experience.

This postgraduate certificate offers training in simulated environments, which provides an immersive learning experience designed to train for real-life situations"

It includes real clinical cases to bring medical practice as close as possible to the development of the program"

The main objective is to facilitate the incorporation of advances in anesthesia in critical patients, so that specialists can update their knowledge in a practical way, using the latest educational technology and adapting the educational process to their real needs.

This refresher program will generate a sense of confidence in decision making during anesthesia procedures for the critically ill, and will help you grow professionally”
