Mechanical ventilation is often necessary in cases of hypoxic or hypercapneic respiratory failure, shock, coma, or cardiac arrest. The mechanical ventilation course covers the various modes of mechanical ventilation, how to write initial ventilator orders, ventilator troubleshooting, ventilator complications, indications for lung-protective ventilation, options for ventilator analgesia and sedation, prognostic indicators in prolonged mechanical ventilation, and criteria for extubation.
Our mechanical ventilation training is a component of our live Hospitalist and Emergency Procedures CME course which teaches clinicians how to perform the 20 most essential procedures needed to work in the ER, ICU, and hospital wards.
