Workshop Description
Immerse yourself in airway management and mechanical ventilation at our intensive workshop. Tailored for healthcare professionals, this hands-on experience covers vital aspects of airway anatomy, intubation techniques, and advanced mechanical ventilation strategies. Led by expert instructors, participants will gain practical insights and proficiency in critical scenarios. Elevate your skills and confidence in airway and ventilation management through this focused, dynamic workshop. It is ideal for seasoned practitioners and those seeking to enhance their expertise. Join us for a transformative learning experience directly impacting emergency and critical patient care. By the end of the workshop, participants can expect to develop the necessary knowledge and practical skills in essential airway management and mechanical ventilation in emergency settings.
Learning Objectives
-
Applied anatomy and physiology - Describe the basic anatomy of the respiratory system, including the upper and lower airways, lungs, and associated structures. An overview of the relevant physiological processes of ventilation, gas exchange, and respiratory mechanics.
-
Basic and advanced airway management techniques - Demonstrate techniques for airway assessment, including recognition of difficult airway and signs of respiratory distress. To learn to secure and maintain an airway (overview of bag-mask ventilation, oral and nasal airway insertion, laryngeal mask airway, endotracheal intubation, and others) and the technique of rapid sequence intubation
-
Ventilator setup - Understanding the various modes of ventilation and interfaces. Initial settings and subsequent titration of ventilator settings, including tidal volume, respiratory rate, and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP).
-
Troubleshooting and Emergency Response - Interpret and respond to ventilator alarms to identify common issues and complications related to mechanical ventilation. Develop skills in responding to emergencies.
-
Monitoring and Interpretation - An overview of ventilator waveform analysis and other parameters guiding mechanical ventilation. Infection prevention in mechanically ventilated patients Evidence-based practices to prevent infections in mechanically ventilated patients.
-
Case-based discussion - Case scenarios to learn initiation of mechanical ventilation in common clinical conditions, including acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and others.
