Thanks to this 100% online Postgraduate certificate, you will gain an in-depth understanding of the early signs of Sepsis and Septic Shock in children, allowing you a faster and more accurate identification of these conditions"

In the midst of the ongoing fight against infectious emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs) face additional challenges in treating Sepsis in younger patients. Therefore, constant vigilance, specialization of medical staff and research into new therapeutic strategies are crucial to improve outcomes in the face of this threat. 

This is how this Postgraduate certificate was born, which will address a wide range of crucial topics for the effective care of the youngest patients in critical situations. Among them, the ability to identify the early signs of Sepsis and Septic Shock in children, applying rapid response protocols. In this sense, physicians will recognize the subtle signs of these conditions, allowing timely intervention and reducing the risk of serious complications. 

Likewise, the syllabus will focus on the implementation of initial management strategies, including fluid resuscitation and the appropriate use of antimicrobials. In this way, professionals will acquire practical skills to rapidly address hypoperfusion and organ dysfunction, crucial elements in the effective treatment of pediatric sepsis. 

Finally, graduates will be updated in the differential diagnosis of Common Infectious Diseases in the PICU and the management of complications associated with Severe Infections and Sepsis, such as Multiorgan Failure. They will also be able to interpret laboratory studies and radiological findings relevant to the evaluation of Infections and Sepsis, which will facilitate more informed clinical decision making. 

In this situation, TECH has created a comprehensive online program, adapted to the individual needs of students, eliminating barriers such as the need to travel to a physical location or adhere to fixed schedules.
