This postgraduate certificate addresses the main advances in advanced life support techniques, so that you will be able to face those situations that can compromise the patient's life. Learn to identify, initially treat and transfer the hemodynamically unstable patient or in cardiorespiratory arrest to the specialized care center"

There is sufficient evidence to demonstrate that early recognition of cardiorespiratory arrest, activation and appropriate response of emergency systems, and early initiation of CPR maneuvers and defibrillation can reduce mortality and its sequelae. 

The survival of sudden cardiac arrest is determined by the quality of the scientific evidence that supports the guidelines or international recommendations and, given that in October 2015 will be made public, through ILCOR Committee (The International Liasion Committee on Resuscitation), the International Consensus document on the Science of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Cardiovascular Emergency Care with Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR) 2015, it is necessary to develop this University Course on Advanced Life Support, with the aim of updating knowledge in Advanced Life Support based on a determined quality and safety standards, and oriented to the specific training for the exercise of the professional activity of medical professionals who seek to be updated in this area.

Update your knowledge through the postgraduate certificate in Advanced Life Support, in a practical way and adapted to your needs"

This postgraduate certificate in Advanced Life Support has the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features of the postgraduate certificate are:

• Clinical cases presented by experts in cardiopulmonary resuscitation. 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
• New diagnostic and therapeutic developments in the management of cardiovascular emergencies
• Interactive learning system based on algorithms for decision making in different clinical situations
• It also includes Advanced Life Support maneuvers, according to the latest recommendations of the main international organizations (ILCOR and AHA)
• All of this will be complemented by theoretical lessons, questions to the expert, debate forums on controversial topics, and individual reflection assignments
• Content that is accessible from any fixed or portable device with an Internet connection

This postgraduate certificate may be the best investment you can make in the selection of a refresher program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge in life support, you will obtain a university certificate from TECH Technological University"

Its teaching staff includes health professionals belonging to the field of emergency medicine, who bring to this training the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists belonging to scientific societies of reference.

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

The design of this program is based on Problem-Based Learning, by means of which the physician will have to try to solve the different professional practice situations that will arise throughout the University Course. This will be done with the help of an innovative interactive video system developed by recognized experts in the field of emergency medicine with extensive teaching experience.

This online methodology allows you, through clinical cases, to practice in a simulated environment"

Take the opportunity to update your knowledge of patient life support"

The main objective of the program is the development of theoretical-practical learning, so that the physician achieves a practical and rigorous mastery of life support maneuvers and invasive techniques in emergencies.

This refresher program will generate a sense of security when practising medicine, which will help you grow both personally and professionally”
