Mechanical ventilation is an essential skill for any provider who has advanced airway management as a part of their scope of practice. Mechanical ventilation is the great equalizer in the transport environment. Through a mix of both lecture and hands on manipulation of the ventilator, this workshop will provide a foundational knowledge of mechanical ventilation, followed by utilization of lung simulators and case studies to solidify your newfound knowledge and prepare you for your next intubated patient.
Pre-registration required.
