This program will enable you to deal with life-threatening situations. Learn how to identify, initially treat and refer pediatric patients with emergency pathologies”

Pediatric emergencies require specific needs and skills that are very different from adult emergencies. The pediatric emergency department physician is confronted on a daily basis with cases of children affected by severe clinical conditions. 

Pediatric emergency departments are those that provide care for children with and in need of immediate care and treatment. These places offer highly complex and diverse services to meet demand, providing all life-sustaining maneuvers that will guarantee continuity of care at another level of complexity. 

The emergency physician must also know how to refer to patient history, if available, and how to interpret it. In this regard, prior medical history will focus primarily on conditions, investigations or hospitalizations that the children have had that may provide important data for subsequent evaluations. It is also important to determine immunization status if children are at risk of contracting preventable diseases. 

A review of family history is important. Open-ended questions are more useful and often raise differential diagnostic possibilities. Close relatives or other family members may have had atypical presentations of common diseases that, in some way, can help doctors decide on a particular therapeutic route.  

All these issues and more will be addressed in great detail during the development of this unique academic program on the Spanish-speaking online university scene.  

Scientific evidence increases the quality of medical care. Keeping up to date is key to providing better patient care in life-threatening emergencies”
