Ventilation Care
(NIV and Invasive Ventilation)
Course Overview:
This interactive webinar, delivered by a specialist nurse trainer, provides you with the knowledge and skills required to care for adults requiring non-invasive ventilation (NIV) or invasive ventilation. The course covers the different types of ventilation, such as BiPAP, CPAP, and invasive ventilation techniques, and the importance of appropriate patient care for those using these systems.
The course will also explore the complications and equipment management associated with ventilation, as well as how to monitor and maintain patient comfort and safety.
Who Should Attend:
This course is suitable for healthcare professionals working with patients who require ventilation support, including:
- Community nurses
- Healthcare assistants
- Support workers
- Other healthcare staff involved in ventilation care
Learning Outcomes:
By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
- Understand the different types of ventilation: BiPAP, CPAP, and invasive ventilation
- Learn the indications and reasons for non-invasive and invasive ventilation
- Understand the mechanisms of pressure support and volume control in invasive ventilation
- Demonstrate knowledge in the care of patients on NIV and invasive ventilation, including pressure care, mouth care, and stoma care
- Recognise the signs of complications or emergency situations during ventilation
- Familiarise with infection control protocols and ventilation equipment management
- Understand the recording and documentation requirements for patients requiring ventilation support
