The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the incredible demand for mechanical ventilation expertise. Strategies for managing respiratory failure continue to progress, so it’s essential that clinicians master these skills and stay current on advances in ventilator technology.

Thousands of learners have successfully used this course over several decades to help their patients with respiratory failure. The continually evolving curriculum focuses on solving clinical problems using the principles of mechanical ventilation like ventilator modes, graphic analysis, lung mechanics, and respiratory physiology.

Leaders in the critical care field will teach state-of-the-art techniques using interactive simulations and hands-on didactics. Return to your practice with increased mastery of mechanical ventilation management, and prepare to quickly implement what you’ve learned at your patients’ bedsides.
