Strengthen your skills and learn techniques for mechanical ventilation in the critically ill patient—including advances in ventilator technology—through online interactive lectures; in-person interactive discussions; live, hands-on small group workshops; and case-based exercises. This comprehensive, interactive program combines online learning with a 1-day hands-on experience and emphasizes practical solutions for issues related to patients in respiratory failure.

Topics include:

• Ventilator modes
• Respiratory system mechanics
• Ventilator-induced lung injury
• Management of obstructive and parenchymal lung disease
• Management of severe hypoxemia
• Patient-ventilator interactions and synchrony
• Noninvasive ventilation

Objectives

• Review the principles of mechanical ventilation with a focus on protecting the lungs.
• Analyze ventilator graphics for changing lung mechanics and for optimal patientventilator synchrony.
• Define ventilatory management of parenchymal lung injury, obstructive disease, and severe hypoxemia.
• Discuss mechanical ventilation liberation strategies.
• Discuss controversial topics related to mechanical ventilation strategies
