Components:
Ventilator manipulation
Critical thinking/problem solving with patient simulated
ventilator scenarios
Recognition of essential ventilator management and
intervention. Recognition of surgical problems resulting in
respiratory failure and maneuvers to improve oxygenation and
ventilation.
Learning Objectives:
Participants should learn essential and advanced components of ventilator management and demonstrate the
ability to make appropriate changes/interventions. In addition, residents should learn evidence-based
guidelines for ventilator management. Interpretation of pressure-volume curves and recognition of auto-PEEP.
Summary of Curriculum, Teaching Methods, and Resource Utilization:
(For each component, please specify what material will be taught during each session, how will the
