The Fundamentals of Mechanical Ventilation for Practicing Intensivists and APPs Course will be an in-person, two-and-a-half-day course. The curriculum is founded in pulmonary physiology as it applies to mechanical ventilation including Ohm’s Law, the equation of motion, the natural decay equation and the use of the time constant. The course focuses on understanding normal waveforms and recognition and management of common clinically consequential ventilator asynchronies. The educational content is delivered via a series of peer reviewed didactics, small group exercises and clinical simulations. This course has been previously delivered to Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellows in numerous programs across the country and has been modified and adapted for an attending knowledge base.
