Choose TECH! Update yourself with this postgraduate certificate and contribute to the successful recovery and rehabilitation of critical ICU patients"

Pharmacology and Nutrition play crucial roles in the comprehensive management of trauma patients in Intensive Care Units (ICU). Trauma, whether resulting from motor vehicle accidents, falls or other serious injuries, can trigger complex physiological responses that affect the body's homeostasis. In this context, proper administration of drugs and provision of optimal nutrition are critical to enhance recovery and reduce complications. 

The program will address the use of medications and nutritional strategies in patients with traumatic injuries in ICU. In this way, the physician will be able to select and manage medications for pain control and sedation. In addition, Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) and steroid drugs will also be needed to control the systemic inflammatory response, while antibiotics will be used to prevent or treat infections associated with the injuries. In addition to this, pharmacological therapies for the management of shock and coagulopathy will be analyzed. 

Likewise, the graduate will delve into the importance of nutrition in the recovery of traumatized patients, considering energy, protein and micronutrient requirements. In practice, enteral nutrition will be recommended from early stages to maintain the integrity of the gastrointestinal tract and prevent muscle atrophy. Likewise, specialized formulas with immunomodulatory nutrients will be beneficial to modulate the inflammatory response and improve wound healing. 

The completely online option of this postgraduate certificate in Pharmacology and Nutrition in Trauma in the ICU will give the professional the freedom to take it in the place and time they prefer, without the limitation of schedules. It will be as comfortable and simple as connecting through an electronic device with Internet access. In this way, the student will enjoy innovative multimedia content, benefiting from an innovative learning methodology in TECH. This is Relearning, which involves the repetition of key concepts to ensure optimal assimilation of content.
