Anticoagulación from Coursera

El adecuado manejo de los fármacos anticoagulantes en distintos escenarios clínicos es esencial. Esto evita eventos mortales por tromboembolia y morbilidad por sangrado, el cual podemos valorar y mitigar.

En este curso queremos brindarles herramientas para que, desde el ámbito clínico, puedan entender y logren usar de la forma apropiada todos los anticoagulantes que tenemos actualmente disponibles. Brindando a los pacientes el manejo óptimo de su anticoagulación, se generan los mejores desenlaces posibles en cada uno de los escenarios. Así mismo, adoptar un pensamiento crítico en el abordaje clínico de las patologías y su seguimiento a largo plazo, minimiza los riesgos y optimiza los resultados.
