With this Postgraduate certificate, based on Relearning, you will obtain advanced competencies for Critical Patient Monitoring and participate in the prevention of complications derived from organ transplantation”

Adult Critically Ill Patients suffering from skin disorders require intensive care by nurses. These dermatological conditions can be caused by a variety of causes, ranging from traumatic injuries to bacterial infections and even autoimmune diseases. In view of this, professionals must constantly monitor the skin of these users, paying special attention to factors such as coloration, texture or the appearance of signs of skin irritation. In addition, these individuals have a higher risk of developing pressure ulcers due to the fragility of their dermis. Therefore, the nursing staff has to implement preventive measures such as frequent changes of position or the application of protective dressings in areas of vulnerabilities.

In this context, TECH is developing a very complete Postgraduate certificate in Monitoring of the Critically Ill Donor and Transplant Patient for Nursing. This syllabus will provide graduates with the most effective techniques for monitoring tissue perfusion, while analyzing the management of drugs susceptible to generate side effects. At the same time, the syllabus will deepen in the approach of clinical cases related to temperature alterations, among which Hypothermia stands out. In this regard, cutting-edge devices such as the ArticSun and Coolgard IV will be addressed, aimed at controlling the different body temperatures. The academic materials will also highlight the importance of ethical care for both critical patients and their families.  Therefore, graduates will adequately carry out the informed consent process and respect the autonomy of individuals to make decisions such as refusal of treatment.

On the other hand, the university program is based on a 100% online methodology, so that nurses can complete the program comfortably. The only thing they will need to access the academic syllabus will be a device with Internet access. In addition, TECH uses the state-of-the-art Relearning system, which guarantees a progressive and natural learning process.

The 100% online methodology of this academic itinerary will guarantee you an effective mastery of the most complex concepts and without predetermined schedules”
