Mechanical Ventilation Course and Workshops
Friday, November 30, 2007
Orlando World Center Marriott Resort
Learn from noted experts on mechanical ventilation
This is a great opportunity for you to maximize your
attendance at the International Respiratory Congress.
To be held the day before the Congress begins.
- Attendance is limited to 150 attendees.
- Pre-registration required. Deadline: November 9.
- Registration fee is separate from the Congress registration.
- This course runs concurrently with the Asthma Certification Preparation Course. You may only register for one.
- Approved for 6.5 units of Continuing Respiratory Care Education (CRCE) credit.
Description
Some of the most noted experts on mechanical
ventilation in the respiratory care community will
conduct the course and workshops. They will update
participants on the current state-of-the-art thinking on mechanical ventilation. Specifically, the course will
- review basic principles of mechanical ventilatory support;
- review recent advances in the evidence-base for strategies of mechanical ventilatory support;
- provide hands-on workshops on newer technologies for providing mechanical ventilatory support.
Who Should Attend
Therapists, physicians, nurses and other health
professionals providing mechanical ventilatory support.
