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
