HCIDs are a real challenge for emergency professionals. Learn how to implement the necessary action protocols and prevent transmission with this program”

The work of an emergency medicine professional is undoubtedly diverse and uncommon. In a single day, these professionals may be faced with critical cases where patient lives are at stake, as well as cases of highly infectious pathologies that put the health of others at risk. For this reason, given the volatility of the profession, TECH has designed this Postgraduate certificate that aims to specialize emergency medicine professionals in a critical aspect of the profession, namely, how to implement the necessary protocols to stop infections in cases of High Consequence Infectious Diseases (HCID). 

In this sense, the course will teach students the risks inherent to HCID, the threat of pandemics and the management of imported pathologies in the emergency department. All this will enable them to work efficiently in this type of situation, where only proper management by the medical team will allow for early identification, thus preventing dreaded health catastrophes. 

Likewise, the importance of having HCID protocols in place in the emergency department will also be discussed and the necessary knowledge will be provided so emergency physicians are sufficiently familiar with the use of PPE material, the mechanisms of transmission and the roadmaps to secure the environment. Special emphasis will be placed on the guidelines specifically designed for cases of highly lethal respiratory pathology and hemorrhagic fevers. 

Further, the main HCID threats will be reviewed and studied in depth according to their geographical location. This will give physicians a greater margin of action in the event of suspicion of any pathology and the origin of the patient, as well as allowing them to act more effectively according in each case.
