This Postgraduate certificate in Assessment and Life Support of the Poisoned Patient has the latest scientific evidence on the subject and you will get up to date in just weeks in a 100% online way"

Acute poisoning is a frequent cause of pathological processes and death. Although the figures show that most cases end favorably, since between 70 and 80% of cases are discharged from the Emergency Department itself, 2% require treatment in ICU and between 20-25% require hospitalization. The diagnosis in these cases is based on an adequate anamnesis, a correct clinical symptomatology assessment and complementary explorations.

In order to perform this procedure according to each case and with the effectiveness required, this Postgraduate certificate is a tool for updating the advances in the Assessment and Life Support of the Poisoned Patient. For this purpose, TECH has chosen a team of specialists in Emergency Toxicology, who have designed an academic itinerary of high educational level.

This syllabus includes 2 modules of the most relevant and current topics to be known by the specialist in Emergency and Primary Care to implement decontamination procedures in acute poisoning, identify the effects of xenobiotics and other toxicants, describe the systemic repercussions of poisoning, among other clinical manifestations, and differentiate them in each case.

Therefore, the graduate will have the necessary background to undertake a therapeutic management of the poisoned patient, applying specific protocols to be followed in each case. There will be 6 weeks of 100% online study, in which the specialist will advance progressively and naturally, without complications towards the new academic goal, because they will be guided by expert teachers and multiple multimedia resources: detailed videos, quick action guides, complementary readings, self-assessment tests, among others. Getting the update they want and with the comfort and quality that only TECH can offer.
