Course Objectives
Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to:
- Define non-invasive mechanical ventilation and describe how it differs from traditional invasive mechanical ventilation.
- Explain the physiological mechanisms by which non-invasive ventilation improves gas exchange, reduces the work of breathing, and supports the failing cardiopulmonary system.
- Identify the principal interfaces, devices, and ventilatory modes used to deliver non-invasive ventilation, and select among them appropriately.
- Discuss evidence-based patient selection for non-invasive ventilation and explain the guidelines for its use in patients with acute respiratory failure.
- Recognize the contraindications, complications, and predictors of failure associated with non-invasive ventilation, and respond appropriately.
- Describe the outcomes for patients receiving non-invasive ventilation compared with those receiving traditional invasive mechanical ventilation.
