It is essential for emergency physicians to know how to manage critically ill patients requiring mechanical ventilation. In this session, we will use case-based approach to invasive ventilator management for a patient with severe Asthma and COPD causing severe hypercapnia. Participants will review basics of ventilator management. Participants will also learn how to manage the patient with Asthma and COPD with acute hypercapnia, including initiation of ventilator settings, ventilator monitoring, and troubleshooting ventilator emergencies with hands-on practice.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain and demonstrate ventilator modes and settings.
  • Demonstrate how to navigate basic settings and monitoring on a ventilator.
  • Identify how to use the ventilator to assess a patient's respiratory function and to treat common ventilator emergencies.
