Course Objectives 

• Explore the fundamental principles underlying positive pressure mechanical breaths. 
• Gain proficiency in administering safe mechanical ventilation by interpreting ventilator waveforms effectively. 
• Develop the skills to monitor and troubleshoot ventilator alarms to ensure patient safety. 
• Learn to configure advanced ventilator modes tailored to specific clinical indications. 
• Acquire the ability to make precise ventilator adjustments to address patient-ventilator dyssynchrony and optimize ventilation outcomes. 
• Gain comprehensive knowledge and practical skills in analyzing pressure-volume loops, assessing compliance and stress index, optimizing PEEP levels, monitoring transpulmonary pressure, understanding mechanical power and driving pressure, implementing lung-protective ventilation strategies, and applying ultra-protective ventilation techniques. 
• Learn to perform Ventilator mechanics and Diaphragmatic ultrasound to assess readiness of weaning from the ventilator
