Description
General Objective
The use of a ventilator should be considered both when the patient cannot maintain an open airway and when adequate oxygenation or ventilation cannot be achieved. Its use should be considered both when the patient is unable to maintain an open airway and when adequate oxygenation or ventilation cannot be achieved.
Thus, it is an artificial respiration procedure that can be invasive or non-invasive, depending on the severity of the situation. Specifically, mechanical ventilation consists of the doctor placing a tube, or cannula, in the patient's trachea to open their airway with the aim of supplying oxygen to the person, improving oxygenation and influencing lung mechanics. Thus, MV facilitates gas exchange and the work of breathing for people with respiratory failure.
This training programme offers extensive theoretical and practical material on mechanical ventilation. Students will learn about the anatomy and physiology of the respiratory system, airway management, types of ventilators, how to deal with possible complications in MV and how to carry it out in paediatric patients.
Addressed to:
Graduates in nursing.
Graduates in medicine.
