This postgraduate diploma in Patient Blood Management in Medical Patients is the program you were looking for to specialize in a booming sector within the medical sector"

In this postgraduate diploma in Patient Blood Management in Medical Patients, we will go in depth into the pre-transfusion compatibility tests, their interpretation and application, as well as into the studies of some transfusion reactions. In this sense, the program covers the immunological aspects of the three fundamental components of blood: red blood cells, platelets and plasma, including studies carried out on donations, compatibility tests and the study of patients presenting immunohematological reactions in a broad sense. 

On the other hand, transfusion practice in pediatrics has its own characteristics due to the different mechanisms of adaptation to anemia and its clinical manifestations and to the peculiarities of the sick child. In addition, the incidence of transfusion-related complications is higher in the pediatric population. At present, increasingly restrictive transfusion policies are being imposed, but the scarcity of well-designed studies and individual clinical variability do not allow the establishment of a single transfusion threshold for all patients. 

Likewise, the most accepted recommendations for transfusion of the different blood components in pediatric patients will be detailed, divided into two stages: on the one hand, the fetal stage, which covers up to 4 months of age, and on the other hand, for patients older than 4 months. 

It should be noted, however, that the application of transfusion recommendations and blood-saving strategies should be individualized, always prioritizing patient safety and taking into account the particularities of the patient's biological situation and pathologies. This is why sometimes applying an "inflexible" restrictive therapy may not be the most convenient in all clinical situations. 

All in all, it is a 100% online postgraduate diploma, so the student has the ease of being able to study it comfortably, wherever and whenever he/she wants. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality in line with the current times with all the guarantees to position the medical professional in a highly demanded field.
