You are constantly chasing others to teach you this difficult skill? In this masterclass we'll teach you everything you need to know about mechanical ventilation. We all know that Critical Care can be intimidating. You walk in and it can seem overwhelming. All that machinery! You know there are patients in there somewhere. Mechanical Ventilation Masterclass will consolidate your knowledge on how to manage ventilated patients, from haemodynamic monitoring to sedation and weaning protocols.
This masterclass will teach you all the skills and knowledge you need to make sure you are able to use the ventilator most effectively. This will also ensure that the patient is on the optimum mode and the settings for them are appropriate. You will also know when it is the right moment to start weaning your patient. And you will be able to teach others!
