The most complete and up-to-date program in Medical Pathologies and Hospitalization in Foals on the online educational market”

This postgraduate certificate lays the foundations for a specialization in Equine Hospital Medicine. It defines the logistics and clinical strategy required in a hospital for horses. It addresses various topics, extremely necessary in order to acquire a global idea of how an equine hospital works and to consider the hospitalization of any patient regardless of their main pathology.

It describes the layout of the different facilities and establishes the necessary guidelines for the cleaning and disinfection of different areas in relation to their degree of contamination by the patients treated in each one. Develop specialized knowledge on advanced pharmacology for hospitalized patients. This program establishes the ideal pharmacological guidelines, antibiotherapy and multimodal analgesia applicable to each patient depending on their severity, which differs greatly from the approach used in field clinics.

Due to the severity of the clinical symptoms presented by most hospitalized patients, it is necessary to establish specific guidelines for fluid therapy and nutrition according to the stabilization requirements and metabolic needs of each patient.

Finally, in the first section of the program, the interpretation of blood count, serum biochemistry and blood gas analysis are discussed as it is very important to establish the severity of hospitalized patients. These diagnostic methods will also be key to monitoring the patients during the hospitalization period. 

In the second section, we will study how a foal's gestational age influences the development of different types of pathologies and how this is a determining factor in establishing a prognosis for its development in adulthood. We will also learn how and when to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation in the neonate and the vital importance of correct performance and monitoring once carried out. 

In the final section of the module, all types of supportive therapy including fluid therapy, antibiotherapy, analgesia and nutritional maintenance will also be studied. As well as this, the expendable materials in neonatology to perform these therapies will be analyzed. The correct use of these materials, the application of the correct supportive therapy, as well as the precise diagnosis and specific, prompt treatment of each pathology will guarantee a higher survival rate in neonatal medicine.
