Clinical Abdominal and Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Emergencies and Intensive Care for Nursing

We offer you the most complete education, delivered by the leading professionals in the field, in order to achieve the goal of providing quality practice that every nurse should be aiming for”

The use of ultrasound has advanced exponentially in recent years, expanding on its traditional use to be used in practically all healthcare departments. Therefore, it is important for nurses to have extensive training in this field, offering them the most advanced knowledge in the subject matter.

It must be taken into account that clinical ultrasound is a tool that helps to diagnose and treat patients in emergency situations or with intensive care needs. Today, it is one of the most popular and valuable tools for guiding diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. In addition, it has the advantages of portability, accuracy, real-time display, reproducibility and efficiency.

Technological advances have made it possible to reduce the size of the equipment, making it cheaper and more portable, and have increased the capacity of clinical ultrasound, leading to a notable increase in its applications. Today, more accurate ultrasound diagnosis, safe ultrasound-guided interventions, precise non-invasive hemodynamic evaluations and rapid assessment of traumatic injuries are all possible.

In this Postgraduate Diploma, TECH offers students the most complete specialization program on clinical ultrasound, specifying its use in the care of patients who find themselves in emergency situations or those who need intensive care. Additionally, as it is a 100% online program, the student will have the opportunity to balance their studies with the rest of their daily commitments, so that they will be able to improve their level of training in a comfortable way. 

Technological advances have led to improved ultrasound scanners, which are becoming more useful and can be used in more situations"
