This one-day workshop encompasses the knowledge and understanding of the equipment, procedures, complications, indications, and weaning off mechanical ventilation. The student is guided step-by-step through indications for mechanical ventilation; how to initiate it; how to monitor various body systems while the patient is on mechanical ventilation; how to adjust; and how to wean a patient off the ventilator.
Physiology of the respiratory system
Mechanics of ventilation
Relationship between ventilation and perfusion
Respiratory assessment
Arterial blood gasses
Ventilatory support: modes of ventilation
CPAP, SiPAP, NCPAP
Complications of ventilation
Weaning from ventilation
Practical Session: ventilation modes
Practical Session: endotracheal suctioning
Practical Session: use of ventilation bundles – prevention of VAP
On completion of this workshop you should be able to:
