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"

The main objective of this postgraduate certificate in Initial Care in Major Burns: Airway and Hemodynamics is to offer superior knowledge to physicians who work with these types of patients so that they acquire the most complete education in the field. To this end, the two most severe problems that can affect patients, namely respiratory failure and shock, will be addressed from an up-to-date point of view.

Regarding the former, the problems derived from airway obstruction and smoke inhalation syndrome, are clearly evident. In relation to the latter, the lack of unanimous criteria for classifying inhalation injuries and the new trends on early extubation in these patients are highlighted. The recommended indications and modes of mechanical ventilation, and the indications and timing of tracheostomy are clearly outlined below. The systemic complications of toxic fume inhalation (carbon monoxide, cyanide, cyanides...) are also reviewed.

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 patient 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 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.
