With this Postgraduate diploma, supported by Relearning, you will provide the optimal Critical Care to significantly improve the well-being of your patients"

A report by the Spanish Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Council reveals that approximately 3 million people die each year from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest worldwide. This serious public health problem can be prevented by early identification of risk factors, patient education and implementation of preventive measures. In this context, technological advances in Advanced Life Support are helping nurses to perform advanced monitoring to obtain accurate vital sign data. For example, through Ultrasound, nurses assess the presence of fluid in the abdomen to detect signs of deep vein thrombosis in the extremities. It is therefore essential for nursing staff to keep abreast of the latest technological advances in order to incorporate them into their routine care practice.

Faced with this circumstance, TECH has developed a pioneering Postgraduate diploma in Safety and Biopsychosocial Management of the Critically Ill Patient for Nursing. Among its objectives is that professionals acquire solid skills in the management of emergency situations and in the application of Advanced Life Support techniques such as Mechanical Ventilation. To this end, the syllabus will provide the keys to handle innovative instruments such as extracorporeal circulation devices or echocardiography. In addition, the syllabus will analyze the approach to physical restraints in critically ill patients in order for graduates to safeguard the safety of individuals in intensive care settings.  The didactic materials will equip graduates with a holistic approach that promotes the recovery of individuals, taking into account their individual needs and cultural context.

To reinforce such knowledge, TECH relies on the unique Relearning methodology. Through this system, students will reinforce understanding by repeating key concepts throughout the program, which will be presented in various audiovisual supports for a progressive and effective acquisition of knowledge.  

As this is a 100% online university program, you will have the flexibility to combine your studies with the rest of your daily commitments"
