Respiratory Failure Management

In response to a global requirement to train additional doctors to care for critically ill ventilated patients the BASIC team has created a blended learning version of BASIC which substitutes e-lectures for face to face lectures, includes a live teleconference skills session and is complemented by activities in the BASIC App.

Esta plantilla de pedido se puede modificar y utilizar para el manejo del ventilador de pacientes adultos con SDRA. Incluye ventilación protectora pulmonar ARDS Net, así como órdenes para pruebas de respiración espontánea (SBT), pacientes difíciles de destetar y pruebas de fugas del manguito.

Nueva versión el 16 de abril de 2021 (v2021.4). Esto incluyen nueva información sobre destete y extubación del ventilador.

Last updated April 2021. This card is also available in Spanish & French. The 7x17 inch version below is intended to be used on mobile devices or printed on cardstock and then folded. 8.5x11 inch versions are available upon request.

This order template can be modified and used for ventilator management of adult patients with ARDS. It includes ARDS Net lung protective ventilation as well as orders for spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs), difficult to wean patients and cuff leak tests.

This visual aid provides a quick reference for common circuit, humidification system, and bacterial viral filter combinations for dual and single limb circuits and both mechanical ventilation and non-invasive ventilation (CPAP/BIPAP). UPDATE April 19 2021 - additional information on CPAP/NIPPV circuit setups added.

By the end of this module, the learners should be able to:
1. Identify indications for using non-invasive ventilation
2. Compare and contrast different NIV strategies

Note: the optimal role of NIPPV/CPAP in managing COVID19 is evolving.

By the end of this module, the learners should be able to:
1. Provide appropriate level of NIPPV to patients in respiratory failure
2. Demonstrate when and how to use bubble CPAP & high-flow nasal cannula

Course objectives:
- Describe the components of care during COVID-19, with special focus on clinical nursing care.
- Describe and implement procedures to minimise contamination and transmission of COVID-19 in any nursing and respiratory support activities.
- Discuss indications and procedures for non-invasive respiratory support.
- Monitor patients on non-invasive respiratory support, describe troubleshooting and solutions related to respiratory support activities.
- Apply patient care principles during and when exiting care with an emphasis on caring for patients post extubation and discharge from ICU to general wards
