Infections can cause serious consequences in burn patients, so it is imperative to have a high level of knowledge in this field"

The postgraduate certificate in Pathophysiology and Infection in Major Burns tries to clearly outline the complex pathophysiological relationships involved in burns and how they influence at the systemic level. To this end, the changes that occur in the two fundamental phases are described.  

Based on this, the systemic inflammatory response syndrome is discussed, and infection is studied, which is the major cause of mortality in burn patients, and which presents extraordinary complications for its diagnosis in the burn patient, since most of its symptoms are comparable to those of SIRS. 

The program includes the specific criteria that have been proposed for considering sepsis in burn patients. In addition, a detailed review is made of the usefulness of the classic markers of sepsis and, above all, of the new ones that seem to be somewhat more specific, but above all appear earlier. This early diagnosis would improve the prognosis by initiating antibiotic treatment earlier. 

Likewise, it also collects the main information that can help to use antibiotherapy in an adequate way, avoiding above all the emergence of resistance.

In addition to the complete and fully updated information, it offers the greatest experience from the teaching staff in the treatment of this type of patient. This experience is very valuable since there are very few burn units and, therefore, the possibility of training in them is scarce. As a main advantage, it is a 100% online specialization, so the student can decide from where to study and at what time to do it, in this way, they can flexibly self-direct their study hours.

For this reason, this postgraduate certificate is the most intensive and effective program on the market in this field. A high-level program that will allow you to become one of the most up-to-date professionals in the sector, in a field with a high demand for professionals.
