Advanced Mechanical Ventilation Course: Simulation & Interaction!

Interactive sessions using simulation and case studies to augment and enhance your knowledge in advanced mechanical ventilation. Each session will deliver key messages that will guide adult clinicians towards the evidence-based application of mechanical ventilation and allow participants to set up novel approaches and various feedback loops.

OBJECTIVES:

This course is intended to provide you with up-to-date information to be able to:

1. Understand the advanced principles of respiratory failure
2. Understand the advanced principles of mechanical ventilation
3. Understand and comprehend the advanced modes of  mechanical ventilation
4. Discuss different mechanical ventilation maneuvers related to disease management
5. Advanced interpretation of ventilator loops and their clinical implications
6. Acquire knowledge on ventilator asynchrony on mechanical ventilation

INTENDED AUDIENCE:

This program is intended for clinicians who have responsibility for the mechanical ventilatory management of critically ill or injured patients and seek basic and advanced knowledge in Mechanical Ventilation. These clinicians include the following:

1. Adult critical care physicians.
2. Critical care practitioners and critical care fellows.
3. All physicians working in intensive care units and dealing directly with ventilated patients.
4. Respiratory therapists and anesthesia technicians in training or practitioners.
