Thanks to this 100% online program, you will apply the most effective measures for infection control in the ICU and prevent nosocomial transmission of Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria"

A report carried out by the World Health Organization shows that antimicrobial resistance has contributed to the death of more than 700,000 people in Intensive Care Units. In this regard, the organization estimates that, if appropriate measures are not taken, this number will increase to 10 million people. In the face of this reality, nurses have the task of carrying out constant surveillance of these patients, especially those at risk of developing Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria infections. In order to optimize their clinical outcomes, these professionals need to update their knowledge frequently to provide comprehensive care.  

For this reason, TECH is launching an innovative and comprehensive program in the Management of Patients with Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Infections in Intensive Care Units (ICU) for Nursing. The academic itinerary will delve into the risk factors for nosocomial infections, enabling nurses to implement preventive measures to detect early signs of infection. Likewise, the syllabus will delve into the appropriate use of antibiotics for the treatment of Gram-negative and Gram-positive infections. In line with this, the program will provide graduates with multiple strategies for the prevention of infections in ICU according to different foci (among which Pneumonia or Bacteremia stand out). In addition, professionals will acquire competencies to handle the most sophisticated assessment tools.
  
In addition, the degree is based on the Relearning method, of which TECH is a pioneer. This system uses the reiteration of key content in a natural way, ensuring that the content is retained in the nurses' memory without the need for memorization. It should be noted that the only thing professionals need to access the Virtual Campus is a device with Internet access (such as cell phones, tablets or computers). Complementary to this, the ISTN nursing staff will be able to access a digital library full of additional didactic materials to enrich their educational experience.
