Get up-to-date with TECH! The most comprehensive content to get you up-to-date on the Initial Care of the Severe Trauma Patient in the ICU”

Medicine lives in a context in which its specialists are required to keep up-to-date and renew their skills by incorporating the latest therapeutic strategies. The notorious development in the

Initial Care of Severe Trauma Patients in ICU has prevailed when it comes to recruiting professionals adapted to the new times.
This postgraduate diploma will address the immediate medical care of trauma patients prior to arrival at the hospital, as well as emergency response protocols, assessment of injury severity, stabilization techniques, immobilization and safe transport. The physician will be up-to-date on critical decision making, effective team communication and optimal prehospital management.

Likewise, students will delve into the immediate response and management of these injuries in the ICU, from rapid assessment, prioritization, stabilization and initial treatment of critical conditions. In this way, students will be able to interpret vital signs, perform essential interventions and coordinate multidisciplinary teams. In short, they will develop the necessary skills to take quick and accurate measures in acute trauma situations.

Finally, time will be dedicated to the diagnosis and integral treatment of shock, recognizing the different types that exist and evaluating vital signs, hemodynamic parameters and biomarkers. The graduate will be able to restore hemodynamic stability, including the use of fluids and vasoactive drugs. In addition, continuous monitoring and adaptation of treatments will be analyzed, depending on the patient's response.

The program will provide the graduate with a theoretical foundation, but will also allow them to adequately face practical situations. A postgraduate diploma that is supported by the extensive experience of TECH's outstanding teaching team, and which is supported by an innovative and cutting-edge teaching methodology. This is Relearning, based on the repetition of essential concepts to achieve a more effective acquisition of knowledge.
