Description
This course is aimed at critical care health professionals caring for mechanically ventilated patients and assisting with airway management, including intubation. Content coverage for the course is inclusive of revision of airway and respiratory anatomy and physiology, respiratory failure, blood gas analysis, and basic and advanced airway management. The principles of invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation will be workshopped using scenarios requiring participants to discuss indications, contraindication, modes, settings, monitoring requirements and troubleshooting of patients requiring ventilation assistance. Ventilation modes covered practically will include CPAP, BPAP and SIMV+, with additional modes covered throughout the pre-reading. Practical scenarios utilise a Hamilton T1 simulated ventilator for demonstration purposes.
Face to face courses will involve participant practice of airway manoeuvres and adjunct use on manikins whilst the online course will demonstrate these interventions.
The course consists of four hours of optional, online pre-course activities and an eight-hour workshop delivered face to face (Fremantle). There is an additional one hour of pre-course learning regarding intubation and extubating for participants whom this is relevant to. Pre-course activity access and course location details will be emailed to participants approximately two weeks in advance. Pre-course activity access will be deactivated three days after the course date.
This course is suitable for any healthcare professionals who are required to assess and manage a patient with acute airway and ventilation issues and implement airway management and mechanical ventilation (emergency/critical care clinicians, pre-hospital acute care providers).
