About this Course
This is a two-day course 🗓️ and advanced masterclass on mechanical ventilation, running from April 15-16, 2026. The program covers the entire process from initiation to liberation, including topics such as:
- Basics and advanced modes of mechanical ventilation (MV) 🌬️
-Cardiorespiratory interaction ❤️🩹
- Lung patterns from a point-of-view perspective 🫁
- Patient-ventilator dyssynchrony 🔄
- Weaning and extubation 👋
- Hands-on simulation in a ventilation lab 🔬
- The role of ultrasound in diagnosis and weaning 🔍
