Postgraduate Diploma in Respiratory Failure and Lung Transplantation
Respiratory failure is a serious condition in which the lungs cannot function properly, affecting breathing and oxygenation of the body. Lung transplantation is a treatment option for patients with advanced respiratory failure, giving them a new lease on life and improving their quality of life. If you want to specialize in this field, at TECH Global University you will find the ideal program that will help you fulfill this purpose. The Postgraduate Diploma in Respiratory Failure and Lung Transplantation is an online postgraduate program, characterized by its avant-garde methodology focused on improving health care practice in this field. The syllabus, designed by a team of highly qualified teachers, includes the most updated concepts in the market and the most innovative study methods. Thus, you will delve into the causes and risk factors of respiratory failure, addressing chronic lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis and interstitial lung diseases.
Get trained in respiratory failure and lung transplantation.
Replacing damaged or diseased lungs with healthy lungs from a deceased donor is a procedure that requires extensive skills and knowledge to be performed successfully. In this postgraduate course at TECH we focus on providing you with the latest tools so that you can specialize in this area in an agile and efficient way. Through our system of online and asynchronous classes, you will study the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic respiratory failure, including the use of mechanical ventilation and other respiratory support therapies. You will also delve into the evaluation of candidates for lung transplantation, the different types of lung transplantation, the process of organ donation or transplantation, and immunosuppression after transplantation. Finally, you will address the challenges and complications associated with lung transplantation, as well as postoperative care and rehabilitation strategies.
