Introduction to the Program

Con este Postgraduate certificate 100% online, accederás a una capacitación especializada en la evaluación y manejo de la Disfagia, preparándote para identificar y abordar eficazmente las alteraciones en la deglución” 

Según datos recientes, la prevalencia de Disfagia en adultos mayores y pacientes críticos es alarmantemente alta, con estudios mostrando que hasta un 30% padecen de esta condición en instituciones de cuidados prolongados. Por eso, los enfermeros desempeñan un papel fundamental en la evaluación inicial, a través de herramientas estandarizadas, y en la implementación de estrategias terapéuticas. 

Así nace este Postgraduate certificate, que profundizará en el conocimiento de las estructuras implicadas en el proceso de deglución, como los músculos faríngeos, la laringe y el esófago, así como su funcionamiento adecuado como parte esencial de una deglución segura y eficaz. Además, se abordará la base funcional de la Disfagia, con énfasis en la clasificación de esta alteración y la identificación de las patologías relacionadas. 

Asimismo, se indagará en las escalas de valoración y técnicas instrumentales de evaluación de la Disfagia, utilizando herramientas estandarizadas para la evaluación de la función deglutoria, como la videofluoroscopia de la Deglución y la endoscopia, e interpretando los resultados para realizar una valoración precisa. También se hará hincapié en el desarrollo de estrategias para la evaluación de la Disfagia en diferentes etapas del proceso, incluyendo la valoración previa, durante y después de la intervención logopédica. 

Finalmente, se capacitará a los enfermeros para valorar el estado nutricional de los pacientes con Disfagia, considerando las consecuencias graves de la desnutrición y la mala hidratación. Igualmente, se examinarán las técnicas compensatorias, que buscan facilitar la deglución en el momento, así como las técnicas rehabilitadoras, orientadas a mejorar la función deglutoria a largo plazo. 

De este modo, TECH ha implementado un programa completo y totalmente en línea, permitiendo a los egresados acceder en cualquier momento y desde cualquier lugar, siempre que dispongan de un dispositivo electrónico con conexión a Internet. Adicionalmente, se utiliza la revolucionaria metodología de aprendizaje Relearning, que se centra en la repetición de conceptos clave para lograr una comprensión óptima y natural del material.
