Proper initial care of burn patients will allow for better recovery. Specialize in this field thanks to this postgraduate certificate and advance in your profession"

This postgraduate certificate in Initial Hospital Care and Fluid Therapy in Major Burn Injuries has been designed for health professionals to acquire superior knowledge and review the actions to be performed when the patient arrives at the hospital. This phase is of special importance for the patient's prognosis, since the final success depends to a large extent on an adequate evaluation and appropriate initial treatment.  

For proper care, the first thing to do is to re-evaluate the patient with specialized personnel and start fluid therapy. Therefore, this program provides the keys to achieve adequate fluid therapy, avoiding both excess and deficiency of volume. In addition, the new balanced formulations, the factors that can lead to excess fluids (fluid creep phenomenon) and the monitoring required by each patient depending on the severity are discussed here. 

The indications and problems of monitoring are also reviewed, and emphasis is placed on transpulmonary thermodilution as the most widely used invasive monitoring in recent years, explaining its advantages, as well as its limitations and possible sources of error to provide the student with practical knowledge, which is complemented with different protocols for action. 

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.
