L1
Level 1 = This fundamental material is intended for a broad audience of learners, of multiple cadres, who may provide care for patients with severe or critical illness, but may have little or no experience caring for severe or critically-ill patients and are usually not the primary decision maker for guiding care.
L2
Level 2 = This intermediate material is intended for a more advanced audience of learners than level 1, with some experience caring for patients with severe or critical illness, and may not be essential for all practitioners who provide this level of care.
L3
Level 3 = This advanced material is intended for an audience with significant experience caring for patients with severe and critical illness, including those who guide care decisions these patients.
Respiratory Failure Management
Total Duration: Estimated 4 hours
By the end of these modules, you should be able to:
- Identify fundamentals for diagnosing & managing patients with moderate-critical respiratory failure
- Understand current guidelines for lung protective ventilation
- Calculate oxygen supply needed to care for respiratory failure patients with using different devices
- Identify key components of routine respiratory care for patients requiring NIPPV and mechanical ventilation
All Skill Levels
Basic Assessment and Support in Intensive Care Course (BASIC) for COVID
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.
