especializacion dolor anestesia locorregional

El desarrollo de la Anestesia Locorregional ha permitido a los profesionales médicos abordar casos en los que el paciente padece mucho dolor a través del empleo de fármacos inyectados en las zonas afectadas y proporcionándole alivio, muchas veces durante un tiempo prolongado, como alternativa a la intervención quirúrgica. Un ejemplo de ello son las lesiones vertebrales relacionadas con los discos o la aparición de protusiones en esta región, las cuales no solo provocan un malestar agudo, sino que afectan al sistema motriz intercediendo en la comunicación neuronal-medular. Así, a través de la punción o el bloqueo, se inyectan fármacos inhibidores y antiinflamatorios, aliviando el dolor y la presión de la zona y contribuyendo a una mejora de la calidad de vida del paciente.

Y en base a los innumerables avances que se han llevado a cabo en la última década en relación a tratamientos y técnicas de aplicación anestésica, TECH ha llevado una profunda investigación para compactar, en tan dolo 450 horas, toda la información que el egresado necesita para ponerse al día en esta área clínica. Así surge el presente Postgraduate diploma, una experiencia académica multidisciplinar diseñada por profesionales versados en Anestesiología, Reanimación y Terapia del Dolor con la que el especialista podrá ahondar en las novedades de los bloqueos neuroaxiales en la cabeza y en el cuello, así como en las mejores y más innovadoras técnicas locorregionales para el tratamiento de las molestias óseas y musculares.

Se trata de un programa formado por un temario único, el cual se complementa con casos clínicos reales extraídos de consultas actuales, así como con material adicional diverso presentado de manera multidisciplinar. Además, su cómodo formato 100% online le permitirá acceder a su curso desde cualquier dispositivo con conexión a internet. De esta manera, el egresado podrá actualizar su praxis desde donde quiera y cuando quiera, sin necesidad de estar sujeto a clases presenciales y horarios encorsetados y permitiéndole compaginar el programa con su actividad profesional.

Postgraduate Diploma in Pain in Locoregional Anaesthesia

Adequate pain management is fundamental in the field of locoregional anaesthesia. Acute and chronic pain can have a significant impact on patients' quality of life and requires trained professionals to provide effective relief and control. At TECH Global University, we offer you the Postgraduate Diploma in Pain in Locoregional Anaesthesia, where you will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to provide optimal pain management in this field. This learning programme is designed for anaesthesiologists, resident doctors and health professionals interested in specialising in pain management in the context of locoregional anaesthesia. Through online classes, you will have access to up-to-date and practical content, guided by experts in the field, which will allow you to gain an in-depth understanding of pain management techniques and strategies. Here you will explore the fundamentals of pain physiology and neuroanatomy, as well as the mechanisms of action of local anaesthetics and other pharmacological modalities used in pain management. You will learn about the different techniques of locoregional anaesthesia, such as peripheral, epidural and spinal nerve blocks, and their application in acute and chronic pain management. In addition, you will study the complications and risks associated with these techniques, as well as strategies to minimise them and ensure patient safety.

Be the great professional that society needs right now

The programme will also address pain management in special situations, such as paediatric patients, pregnant women and the elderly. You will explore the use of pain assessment tools and scales, as well as complementary and alternative therapies that can complement the pharmacological approach to pain management. Upon completion of the Postgraduate Diploma in Pain in Locoregional Anaesthesia, you will be able to apply advanced locoregional anaesthesia techniques and provide effective management of acute and chronic pain, so you will be able to work in various fields of action.
