Description
This course is a continuation of Critical Care/Mechanical Ventilation I. Students will be instructed on mechanical ventilation graphics, advanced modes, high frequency mechanical ventilation, neonatal/pediatric ventilation, and critical care pharmacology. In addition, students will learn the concepts of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), nitric oxide delivery, and care for the traumatic brain injury (TBI) patient. Students will demonstrate interpretation of mechanical ventilation graphics and adjustments to mechanical ventilation based on laboratory data and patient assessment scenarios in the laboratory setting.
