The initial care of patients with major burns is essential to achieve adequate diagnoses that allow for the prompt recovery of the patients"

Initial hospital care of patients with major burns should be carried out with great caution, taking into account the organs that may be affected by the burns. For this reason, the quality specialization of the professionals in charge of providing this care must be constant and up to date. Accordingly, in this postgraduate diploma, we offer physicians the most complete program on the market on epidemiology, in order to highlight the importance of this type of pathology.  

Subsequently, the different depth classifications will be shown, and a table of equivalences will be made to facilitate their knowledge. Likewise, the use of new technologies in the diagnosis of burn depth is taught.  

As a fundamental part of this program, the actions to be taken upon arrival at the hospital are reviewed. This phase is of particular importance for the patient's prognosis. The final success depends to a large extent on a proper evaluation and adequate initial treatment. Therefore, the first thing to do is to re-evaluate the patient with specialized physicians and start fluid therapy.  

On the other hand, the two most severe problems that can arise in the patient, namely respiratory failure and shock, will be addressed head-on from an up-to-date stance. Regarding the former, the problems derived from airway obstruction and smoke inhalation syndrome are clearly evident. As for shock, the classic notions will be explained, as well as current monitoring and how the objectives have evolved. Finally, the use of some medications in this type of patients is reviewed. 

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 specializing in them is scarce. As a main advantage, it has the advantage of being 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.
