Non-Invasive Ventilation Teaching
Summary
Join us for an engaging session on Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV). This crucial respiratory support tool is extensively used in critical care, fully adapts to patients' needs and significantly reduces the need for invasive procedures. Our class aims to provide deep insights on its functioning, the latest advancements and ideal patient selection. This session is ideal for those keen on extending their knowledge in respiratory care and improving patient treatment outcomes. Attend to refine your skills, stay updated and provide top-notch breathing assistance to your patients.
Learning objectives
-
Understand the concept and application of non-invasive ventilation (NIV): By the end of the session, participants should be able to accurately describe what non-invasive ventilation is, the clinical scenarios where it is typically used and possible alternatives to NIV.
-
Familiarize with various NIV devices and settings: Participants should be able to differentiate among commonly used non-invasive ventilation machines, masks, and interfaces, and understand how to adjust ventilation settings according to the patient's needs.
-
Recognize the indications and contraindications of NIV: The learners should be able to clearly determine when non-invasive ventilation can be beneficial and when it should be avoided, using evidence-based protocols and guidelines.
-
Identify and manage common complications of NIV: By the end of the teaching session, participants should be able to anticipate, recognize, and respond to common complications associated with non-invasive ventilation including respiratory distress, mask-related issues, and possible effects on the cardiovascular system.
-
Apply knowledge on Non-Invasive Ventilation in clinical scenarios: Participants should demonstrate the ability to suitably apply their knowledge of non-invasive ventilation by assessing and managing hypothetical patient scenarios effectively. This will assess the learner's ability to transfer the theoretical
