Master the most advanced techniques in the Pre and Postoperative Care of the Vascular Patient with this Postgraduate certificate, and become a referent in this field"

The circulatory system is essential for maintaining human health and well-being, and vascular diseases have become an increasing concern in the global population. With an aging demographic and an increase in risk factors such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes, pathologies ranging from coronary artery disease (CAD) and aortic aneurysms to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are becoming increasingly common.

These conditions are addressed by vascular surgery, which makes it possible to restore blood flow, preventing serious difficulties and improving the quality of life of patients. However, these surgical procedures require special care before and after admission to the operating room. These care protocols focus on optimizing medical care with the aim of minimizing complications and improving surgical outcomes.

In this perspective, TECH has designed the Postgraduate certificate in Pre and Postoperative Care of the Vascular Patient, a 100% online educational program that provides students with a comprehensive and up-to-date approach to the management of patients with vascular disease before and after the surgical procedure. This program covers topics such as assessment and management of risk factors, pain control and rehabilitation.

The Relearning pedagogical methodology combines theoretical teaching with practical cases and examples. In addition, the flexibility to organize educational resources provides students with the opportunity to balance their work and personal commitments with their studies. In this way, medical professionals will master the latest advances in this important area, enabling them to provide optimal care and improve outcomes in vascular patients.
