Objectives
A special course and workshops designed to update educators and managers on the latest advancements on mechanical ventilation, ventilators, and adjuncts. Participants will learn the current state-of-the-art thinking on mechanical ventilation. Specifically, the course will (1) review basic principles of mechanical ventilatory support; (2) review recent advances in the evidence-base for strategies of mechanical ventilatory support; and (3) provide hands-on workshops on newer technologies for providing mechanical ventilatory support.
