The new scenarios in anesthesia procedures in critically ill patients motivate us to propose new training programs that meet the real needs of experienced professionals, so that they can incorporate advances in difficulties in airway (DA) management into their medical practice”

Proper airway management is one of the main challenges and concerns for anesthesiologists in their daily practice, so its correct knowledge and treatment is an aspect of vital importance in the specialty. Although the incidence of DA is low, lack of skills and knowledge in this area can lead to permanent brain damage and even death due to critical hypoxia in DA emergency.

Airway management and control, ventilation and oxygenation are also essential and priority components of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Although the different training programs contemplate them, their teaching is different and should be separated, since more exhaustive training increases "team" efficiency and contributes to greater patient safety.

Furtherore, the latest advances in anesthesiology in recent years are included. Thus, aspects such as the general approach to perioperative bleeding, new anesthetic drugs, new non-invasive ventilation systems, perioperative medicine, and aspects related to research, training, simulation and clinical safety are also covered in this Postgraduate certificate.

You will be able to learn, through the latest educational technology, the most recent advances in airway management”v

This Postgraduate certificate in Difficulties in Airway Management is the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market. The most important features of the course are:

• Clinical cases presented by specialists in anesthesiology and other areas. 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
• Presentation of practical workshops on procedures and techniques
• Algorithm-based interactive learning system for decision-making in the presented clinical situations.
• All 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 when choosing a refresher program for two reasons: in addition to updating your knowledge of Difficulties in Airway Management, you will obtain a qualification from Difficulties in Airway Management”

The teaching staff is made up of a team of leading anesthesiologists, who bring to this training the experience of their work, in addition to recognized specialists in other medical areas.

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

Problem-Based Learning underpins this program design, and the specialists must use it to try and solve the different professional practice situations that arise throughout the course. For this reason, you will be assisted by an innovative, interactive video system created by renowned and experienced experts in the field of psychology with extensive teaching experience.

This program offers training in simulated environments, which provides an immersive learning experience designed to train for real-life situations"

It includes clinical cases to bring the program's degree as close as possible to the reality of care in Nursing"

The curriculum structure has been designed by a team of professionals who recognize the implications of medical training in airway management, who are aware of the relevance of current professional training and and are committed to quality teaching through new educational technologies.

This Postgraduate certificate in Difficulties in Airway Management is the most complete and up-to-date scientific program on the market”
