This course focuses on the application of specialized ventilator settings and strategies designed for complex respiratory conditions. Additionally, the course emphasizes techniques and approaches for weaning patients off mechanical ventilation, ultimately leading to their liberation from ventilatory support. The lab component involves the use of a high-fidelity mannequin, and the latest in the industry ventilators. Interpretation of graphs as seen on capnography and on the mechanical ventilators are paramount in this course, as well as the possible patient progression into a chronic mechanical ventilator usage.
