Key points of this webinar:
- COVID-19 patients have unique characteristics with respect to respiratory support
- Non-invasive ventilation must be carefully monitored to avoid self-inflicted lung injury
- Invasive mechanical ventilation needs vary with time and appropriate settings are warranted
Learning Objectives:
This webinar will enable caregivers of patients with COVID-19 to:
- Identify when invasive ventilation should be initiated
- Recognise the different disease phenotypes and their own needs
- Define the most appropriate respiratory support for individual patients
Practical skills to be acquired after attending this Webinar:
The user can:
- Anticipate failure of non-invasive ventilation
- Choose appropriate invasive mechanical ventilation settings
- Define which adjunctive therapies should be used
Affective skills acquired after attending to this Webinar:
The user is aware of:
- Having a systematic approach enables one to better handle stressful situations
- Synergy with other specialities improves the efficiency of care
- Despite the lack of evidence-based medicine in this particular disease, one can still handle safely based on expert opinion
