Participants
The course is designed for 25 participants (EM residents and physicians).
GOALS
Understand pathophysiology of acute respiratory failure and the effects of Non-Invasive respiratory support in COVID19 and non-COVID19 acute respiratory failure.
Understand indications and contraindications of the various methods.
Apply problem-solving to manage ventilators troubleshooting.
Understand pros and cons of Non-Invasive respiratory support in COVID19 patients.
Course format
This is highly interactive hybrid course split in 2 parts:
One is online before the pre-course (asynchronous learning)
The second one is the hands-on sessions that will be held at the Congress, and will be split in:
Six brief pre-course lectures will give you the crucial concepts on Non-Invasive Respiratory Support. They can be accessed before the on-site pre-course whenever you want (asynchronous learning)
Hands-on, during the Congress 2a (morning)
These are training sessions on 4 O2 devices/ventilators stations. All participants rotate to bring you cuting edge information on all Non-Invasive respiratory support, pros and cons, caveats, with a focus on most common cases and a specific session on COVID19 pneumonia management.
For each indication, a hands on session will be run on a different O2 devices, CPAP systems and ventilators stations with cognitive simulation of clinical scenarios.
2b. Hands-on, during the Congress (afternoon)
These are training sessions on 4 O2 devices/ventilators stations. All participants will be involved to take part in case simulation and clinical decision making on all Non-Invasive respiratory support, pros and cons, caveats, with a focus on most common cases and 2 specific sessions on COVID19.
