Further Details
This module will enable healthcare professionals to:
Identify the pathophysiological processes that predispose to respiratory failure
Explore the physiological responses to oxygen therapy and non-invasive ventilation, specifically on acid base balance and lung mechanics
Demonstrate an understanding of the principles that underpin the use of non-invasive ventilation
Evaluate and reflect upon the effectiveness of interventions and demonstrate an awareness of the limitations of non invasive ventilation in the management of respiratory failure
Explore some of the ethical/psychosocial issues that may arise in this group of patients and be aware of the principles that may provide a framework to solve them.
