Essentials of Pre-Hospital Ventilation

On our Airway courses we naturally venture into the parallel clinical science of Pre-Hospital ventilation and extensively cover the critical manual ventilation skills using the Bag Valve Mask device, plus given the limited time available we also cover the general Principles of mechanical ventilator use. Due to demand we have developed a ONE DAY programme to cover in more depth the use of Mechanical ventilators in the Pre-Hospital phase. Simple and Intermediate transport Ventilators are a common fitment in UK Ambulances but utilisation is historically low due to a lack of initial and ongoing education in their clinical benefits and physical operation which this course aims to address. The theory and skills relating to why AND how are demystified!

Subjects covered include:

• A Rapid review of Airway devices suitable for Mechanical ventilation.
• Negative and Positive pressure Ventilation the Pro’s and Con’s.
• Ventilators Modes and Uses theory including PEEP.
• Gas or Electric driven and FIO2 settings.

• CPAP and BiPAP Theory and Practical. (Utilising Multiple brands and models)
• ETCO2 Advanced knowledge- Closing the Loop.
