Mechanical Ventilation Essentials

Learning Outcomes

  • Explore the basic anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system, including how its organs facilitate ventilation
  • Acquire knowledge on interpreting waveforms, loops, and scalars to monitor ventilation effectiveness
  • Learn how to initiate and adjust ventilator settings based on patient needs, including restrictive and obstructive lung pathologies
  • Understand and use non-invasive ventilation techniques
  • Perform troubleshooting to address common issues and optimise ventilation
  • Prepare patients for successful weaning from mechanical ventilation
  • Enhance leadership and team dynamics to improve patient outcomes in ventilatory management

Description

Effective management of respiratory failure relies on a thorough understanding of mechanical ventilation principles and staying current with technological advancements. This unique blended learning course provides an in-depth exploration of mechanical ventilation, focusing on its principles, implications, and management strategies. Participants will learn how to initiate and adjust ventilation, understand the effects of ventilation therapy, and prepare patients for weaning from ventilators.
