Description:

Noninvasive ventilation, specifically non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation or continuous positive airway pressure delivered by mask, has now become standard care for the management of a number of specific causes of acute respiratory failure. This webinar will focus on a total system approach to achieving optimal use of NIV including device and interface selection, humidification, interface rotation, ventilation, complementary use of HFNT and NIV. This presentation will review the current evidence and best clinical practices available to optimize the use noninvasive ventilation in acute care setting. 

 

Learning Objectives:

After the completion of this activity, the learner will be able to:

Discuss appropriate device and interface selection for non-invasive ventilation

Evaluate different strategies available to optimize NIV usage.

Describe the modalities available to prevent non-invasive ventilation related skin injuries.
