The new scenarios in Intensive Care Medicine push us to propose new programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate the advances in clinical practice in infectious pathology and the approach to the transplanted patient"

Severe sepsis has a high incidence and remains one of the leading causes of death despite continuous improvements in the care of critically ill patients. The approach to infectious pathology in the critically ill patient is a very important aspect in the daily activity of Intensive Care Medicine, since early diagnosis and treatment leads to a better prognosis in these patients.

On the other hand, the role of Intensive Care Medicine in donation and transplantation programs of the National Transplant Organization is key and decisive. The intensive care physician should always consider the possibility of organ donation for transplantation, and is responsible for the diagnosis of brain death and the decision to withdraw maintenance measures, obtaining consent for donation, supporting the family, and in many cases, immediate care of the transplanted patient.

This Postgraduate diploma in Current Management of Infectious Pathology and Transplantation in Intensive Care Medicine aims to respond to the specialization needs of the medical specialist, in order to update their knowledge in the approach to critical patients with infectious pathology and in the process of organ donation and transplantation in which they are involved, from the diagnosis of brain death, the assessment of the potential organ donor, the management of donors in encephalic death and heart failure to the stabilization and postoperative control of cardiac, hepatic and pulmonary transplant recipients.

Scientific evidence increases the quality of medical care. Staying up to date is key to providing better care for patients with Infectious Pathology and Transplants in the Intensive Care Unit"
