With this Postgraduate certificate, based on Relearning, you will perform the most comprehensive assessments on the health status of Critical Pediatric and Neonatal Patients”

During infancy there is a high likelihood that children will suffer from neurological problems such as developmental disorders, epilepsy or neurodegenerative diseases. When these occur, nurses play a key role in providing specific care such as proper positioning to prevent muscle contractures or pressure ulcers. Likewise, professionals administer the most appropriate medications to users to control symptoms such as convulsions, spasticity or pain. In line with the above, they carry out continuous monitoring to appreciate the vital signs in real time and the response to the therapeutic treatments applied. 

Aware of its relevance, TECH has developed an exclusive Postgraduate certificate in Pediatric and Neonatal Critical Care Patient Monitoring for Nursing. Its main objective is to provide graduates with a comprehensive vision of the physiological foundations of pediatric and neonatal diseases that require permanent monitoring. The syllabus will deepen the care that professionals must provide to patients with renal alterations (such as urinary infections), skin conditions or digestive disorders. In addition, graduates will gain advanced skills to effectively analyze data derived from the monitoring process.
