Delve deeper into critical nursing care through an online program with the latest scientific postulates and practical guidelines in the field"

Critical care nursing is a it constant evolution specialty due to the complexity and diversity of pathologies that occur in critically ill patients. Current challenges include the management of patients with severe respiratory disease, such as adult respiratory distress syndrome, the implementation of noninvasive mechanical ventilation, and the use of ECMO in patients with acute respiratory failure. 

In addition, the care of patients with neurological disorders presents unique challenges, such as neurological assessment in ICU and the management of patients with intracranial hypertension and coma. The management of severe trauma patients is also challenging, especially in the case of polytraumatized patients and critically ill burn patients. 

Faced with these challenges, nursing professionals have the need to update themselves in the optimal management of critically ill patients, especially those involving the latest novelties or developments in each area. In this sense, TECH has created a Postgraduate diploma in Nursing Care in Critically Ill Patients that delves into the most urgent issues in this area. 

In this way, it offers a complete and updated approach to critical care in patients with respiratory, neurological, digestive and renal disorders, as well as in severe trauma patients. In addition, the program includes relevant topics such as sedoanalgesia and pain management in critically ill patients, and the prevention of nosocomial infections and care in the septic patient. 

One of the advantages of the program is that it is 100% online, which allows nursing professionals to access the program from anywhere and at any time. This is especially useful for those professionals who work rotating shifts, with demanding schedules, or in areas far from academic institutions. In this way, it is the student themselves who decides when, where and how to take on the entire course load.
