Learn about the latest advances in Urgent Therapeutic Management of the Poisoned Patient to be able to perform a quality praxis"

Poisonings often become difficult situations to manage. Signs and symptoms can be varied and unspecific, so the evaluation of these patients requires a clinical history from a good source, an exhaustive interrogation where all the details are understood, as well as a complete physical examination and a health personnel trained to attend any type of eventuality.

Therefore, this program in the Urgent Therapeutic Management 
of the Poisoned Patient  for Nursing has been designed to provide professionals with sufficient knowledge in human toxicology to be able to successfully address the challenge of caring for patients with urgent toxicological problems.

The program is fundamentally aimed at the daily practice of the profession, referring to the study of those toxicants that come into contact with patients most frequently, minimizing as much as possible the theoretical foundations of the subject and focusing on the clinical care of the intoxicated patient. At the same time, we have given special importance to the practical approach required for therapeutic success.

The contents of this postgraduate diploma are structured in large groups of topics with a pedagogical coherence. In this way, the student will be able to understand the proper way to perform an evaluation of a poisoned patient, explain the life support process and apply preventive techniques to perform a gastrointestinal absorption.

Furthermore, it is a 100% online Postgraduate Certificate that provides students with comfortable study and ease, wherever and whenever they want it. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality in keeping with the current times with all the guarantees to position the nurse in a highly demanded sector. 

The program in Urgent Therapeutic Management of the Poisoned Patient for Nursing will help you learn the process of applying life support in the acute intoxicated patient"
