Keeping up to date on anesthesia procedures in critical care is key to providing better patient care"

New scenarios in anesthesia procedures motivate us to propose new training programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate advances in anesthesia in critically ill patients into their medical practice”

This postgraduate diploma addresses the advances in clinical practice in the last decade, including major clinical syndromes in critical care, as well as new developments in neurological and hemodynamic monitoring procedures, new ventilation and lung protection strategies, ventricular assistance with significant future projection, nutritional aspects of critically ill patients, programs aimed at achieving "Zero bacteremia", the management of severe bleeding, as well as the integral approach to polytraumatized patients, severe burn patients, patients undergoing transplantation (liver, heart, lung, kidney), and donor maintenance.  

The complexity of Critical Care Medicine translates into great variability in the medical and surgical management of critically ill patients. For this reason, there is an interest and a need to increase knowledge, analysis, and intervention in the field of Critical Care Medicine, making scientific evidence the main pillar of clinical practice.

This program aims to update the knowledge and methods used in critical care units, and is intended for specialists who are interested in deepening their medical knowledge in order to contribute quality and safety to improving patient health.

You will be able to learn, through the latest educational technology, the latest advances in anesthesia procedures in critical care units”

This postgraduate diploma in Anesthesia and Critical Care is the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features of the program include:

• Clinical cases presented by specialists in anesthesiology and other areas. The graphic, schematic, and eminently practical contents with which they are created provide scientific and practical information on the disciplines that are essential for professional practice.
• Real high-resolution images of pathologies, diagnostic imaging tests and guided procedures.
• Presentation of practical workshops on procedures and techniques.
• Algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the presented clinical situations.
• Action protocols with the most important advances in the specialty. 
• All this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments.
• With a special emphasis on evidence-based medicine and research methodologies in anesthesiology.
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection. 

This postgraduate diploma may be the best investment you can make when choosing a refresher program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge of Anesthesia and Critical Care, you will obtain a qualification from TECH Technological University”

The teaching staff is made up of a team of leading anesthesiologists, who bring to this training the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists in other medical areas.

The multimedia content developed with the latest educational technology will provide the physician with situated and contextual learning, i.e., a simulated environment that will provide immersive training programmed to train in real situations.

This program is designed around Problem Based Learning, whereby the student must try to solve the different professional practice situations that arise during the course. For this reason, you will be assisted by an innovative, interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts in the field of anesthesiology and critical care with extensive teaching experience.

Incorporate the latest developments in Anesthesia and Critical Care to your medical practice and improve patient prognosis"

It includes real clinical cases to bring medical practice as close as possible to the development of the program"

The main objective is to facilitate the incorporation of advances in anesthesia procedures in critically ill patients, so that specialists can update their knowledge in a practical way, using the latest educational technology and adapting the educational process to their real needs.

This refresher program will generate a sense of confidence in decision making during anesthesia procedures for critically ill patients, and will help you grow professionally”
