Advanced course on Home Mechanical Ventilation in Pediatrics
Manage complexity with confidence: advanced training in pediatric home Ventilation
This advanced course provides both theoretical and practical training in pediatric home mechanical ventilation, focusing on monitoring, adaptation, and emergency management for ventilated patients at home. It covers alternative interfaces, advanced ventilatory modes, and strategies for a safe transition from intensive care units to the home setting.
At the end of this training you will be able to:
- Provide updated knowledge on alternative interfaces, devices, and ventilatory modes.
- Master the clinical management of complex pediatric patients transitioning from intensive care to home with mechanical ventilation.
- Enhance training in tracheostomy management skills for both professionals and family caregivers.
- Train professionals to anticipate and respond to respiratory complications at home.
- Become familiar with emerging technologies and tools for home-based ventilatory support and monitoring.
- Establish clear criteria for hospital discharge planning and continuity of care at home.
