Introduction to the Program

Get updated in the most modern approach to Obstetric Emergencies both in the different periods of pregnancy and in labor and postpartum"

The importance of early detection in the diagnosis of infections is crucial in pregnant patients, as this can prevent possible transmission to the fetus. In these cases where the infection can affect the development of the fetus, it is essential to take into account both the gestational age and the time of exposure, establishing a renewed action protocol based on the specific type of pathology.

Likewise, the incidence of the infection in the birth canal itself should also be assessed, since it can sometimes be obstructed. The midwives play a key role in all of the above, and they must have up-to-date knowledge in order to know the best approach to the most common and infrequent types of infection.

This TECH program has been developed in response to this need. The teaching team in charge of it is made up of specialists in Infections in Pregnancy, providing all the theoretical content with the necessary perspective of clinical practice to properly contextualize each type of specific infection.

To this end, both face-to-face classes and fixed schedules have been eliminated, leaving it up to the midwives themselves to decide when to take on the entire teaching load.

Postgraduate Certificate in Infections in Pregnancy for Midwives

Infections in pregnancy are common health problems that can affect both the mother and the fetus. As part of their role in prenatal care, midwives must be prepared to identify, diagnose and treat infections in pregnancy to ensure the health and well-being of the mother and fetus.

Infections in pregnancy are very important to detect and treat appropriately to ensure the well-being of the mother and fetus. Midwives have an important role to play in the prevention, detection and treatment of these infections.

Most common infections that can affect pregnant women and require the attention of a midwife.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs): UTIs may be more common during pregnancy due to changes in a woman's body. The midwife should detect UTIs early, as if they are not treated early, they can develop into a more serious kidney infection.

Vaginal infections: During pregnancy, the presence of hormones in a woman's body can change the balance of bacteria in the vagina. This can increase the risk of vaginal infections such as candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis. Midwives can provide advice and treatments to relieve symptoms and control infection.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): STIs such as chlamydia, gonorrhea and HIV can affect the health of the mother and fetus during pregnancy and delivery. Midwives should screen for STIs during pregnancy to detect them and provide treatment as early as possible.

Hepatitis B: Hepatitis B is a viral infection that can be transmitted to the fetus during delivery. Midwives should ensure that all pregnant women are screened for hepatitis B and administer a vaccine if necessary.

In general, infections in pregnancy can be successfully treated with proper medical care. It is important that midwives are prepared to detect and treat infections to ensure the health and well-being of the mother and fetus.
