It is essential for emergency physicians to know how to manage critically ill patients requiring non-invasive (NIV) mechanical ventilation. In this session, we will use case-based approach to non-invasive ventilator (NIV) management for acutely hypoxemic and hypercapnic patients. Participants will review basics of non-invasive ventilator management. Participants will review the basic modes of non-invasive ventilator management, such as CPAP, BIPAP, and also less common modes such as AVAPS. Participants will also practice initiation of non-invasive ventilator settings, monitoring, and troubleshooting NIV emergencies with hands-on practice.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain and demonstrate various non-invasive ventilator modes and settings.
  • Describe how to use the non-invasive ventilator for management in severe hypoxemic and hypercapnic patients.
  • Demonstrate how to navigate basic settings and monitoring on a non-invasive ventilator.
