experto universitario urgencias toxicologicas productos industriales enfermeria

En el ambiente de trabajo es habitual que los trabajadores se expongan a contaminantes derivados de los productos industriales, como metales pesados o residuos sólidos. Estas exposiciones pueden provocar la entrada de los agentes externos en el organismo por diversas vías, desencadenándose acto seguido una serie de fases toxicocinéticas. Ante los graves efectos que pueden producirse, es relevante que los enfermeros que desarrollan su trabajo en urgencias toxicológicas dispongan de un entendimiento integral sobre las intoxicaciones para proporcionar así una atención especializada y adecuada a los pacientes afectados.

Por eso, TECH implementa una Postgraduate diploma enToxicological Emergencies by Industrial Products for Nursing. Su objetivo es capacitar a los profesionales para reconocer rápidamente los síntomas de intoxicación por productos químicos industriales y tomar medidas inmediatas para brindar una atención de emergencia. El itinerario académico hará un recorrido por los fundamentos básicos en Toxicología, examinando factores como las causas de las intoxicaciones o mecanismos de la toxicidad. En este sentido, el temario profundizará en la valoración inicial de los usuarios, teniendo en cuenta los principales síndromes toxicológicos que pueden sufrir. Además, los materiales didácticos abordarán los protocolos de actuación ante diferentes situaciones de emergencia. Esto permitirá a los enfermeros minimizar los daños causados por la exposición a sustancias químicas peligrosas. Cabe destacar que el programa contará con la participación de un reconocido Director Invitado Internacional, que ayudará a los egresados a elevar sus competencias.

La metodología destaca por su modalidad 100% online y por su metodología Relearning, basada en la repetición de conceptos clave para fijar conocimientos y facilitar el aprendizaje. Asimismo, los enfermeros accederán a una biblioteca atestada de recursos multimedia en diferentes formatos multimedia como resúmenes interactivos, fotografías, vídeos explicativos e infografías. Lo único que se requerirá es que los expertos tengan a su alcance un dispositivo electrónico con acceso a Internet para ingresar en el Campus Virtual, donde encontrarán los contenidos académicos más dinámicos del mercado.

Postgraduate Diploma in Toxicological Emergencies by Industrial Products for Nursing

Toxicological emergencies due to industrial products are situations in which a person, either by contact, ingestion or inhalation of toxic substances present in industrial products, can develop a series of serious symptoms and complications that endanger their health. In the hospital setting, nursing is often the first point of contact for patients who are victims of industrial product poisoning. Nursing staff must be trained to provide immediate and appropriate care to control the effects of the poisoning, prevent serious complications and generally improve the prognosis of patients.

Common industrial products often involved in toxicological emergencies include aggressive chemicals, solvents, acids, alkalis, metals and toxic gases. If a person comes into contact with a toxic substance or inhales toxic fumes, he or she may experience a variety of symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, skin irritation, lung inflammation, burns, and in severe cases even convulsions, coma or death. Treatment of industrial product toxicology emergencies in nursing may include measures such as administration of antidotes, cleanup and neutralization of the toxic substance, and constant monitoring to detect and control possible complications of the clinical picture.

It is important for nurses to have the necessary training and experience to be able to identify the signs and symptoms of industrial product poisoning early, and to be able to initiate appropriate treatment to protect the patient's life and health.

TECH, the world's largest digital university, has an academic program designed to provide students with the knowledge necessary to identify chemicals and human health effects, perform proper patient assessment and apply appropriate treatments in the event of toxic chemical exposure. Students learn how to handle a variety of emergency situations, such as industrial chemical accidents, toxic exposures at home, at work or elsewhere. They also acquire skills in the evaluation and treatment of patients with illnesses related to toxic chemical exposures and promote preventive safety in relation to chemicals and their effects.
