Knowing how to administer the necessary care in each of the phases the patient goes through in the emergency department is a vital competency in the nurse's curriculum”

Hospital emergency care cannot be understood without an approach to the out-of-hospital emergency setting. Therefore, this postgraduate diploma, designed by TECH, will focus on an in-depth approach to both care environments, where triage will play a fundamental role in identifying those patients who are in the most serious and/or vulnerable conditions. Therefore, in this environment, the professional will learn to understand nursing as the professional group in charge of prioritization, together with the rest of the healthcare personnel, who will also have to deal with disaster situations and implement emergency plans with other non-healthcare groups.

In addition, this educational program will delve into the outcome of these complex situations, where not only will the patient have to be cared for with quality, but also to manage the aid and, in special situations, initiate rescue maneuvers. Similarly, this degree will also focus on medical transport, since Nursing professionals are continuously present during the transfer of the patient from the hostile environment in which the event takes place to the hospital itself, providing assistance and care support. 

On the other hand, this program will try to go a step further and unpack the advanced life support algorithm that most health professionals are familiar with. In this sense, emphasis will be placed on those special situations where nursing actions have to be adapted, and an in-depth study will be made of those advanced procedures and techniques that are frequently performed in this environment, such as intraosseous line cannulation or the use of the capnograph. The aim of this is that the Nursing professional achieves excellence in the most critical situation for the patient, when they are in cardiorespiratory arrest, but also in the immediate aftermath.

For this reason, this postgraduate diploma describes in detail the post-resuscitation care that this patient should have, since its knowledge and application will be crucial for an early and quality recovery. Additionally, the ethical dilemmas involved in the management of this situation are described, with special mention of the protocol for organ donation and transplantation.
