Demonstrate an understanding of general terms, common abbreviations, and basic concepts of mechanical ventilation.

Defrinate between basic and advanced modes of ventilation and how to appropriately select the initial settings of each mode.

Explain the differences between volume-controlled ventilation and pressure-controlled ventilation with details of the appropriate use for each type.

Identify the importance of routine assessment and documentation for patients receiving mechanical ventilation, including ventilator graphics checks, routine filling of ventilator flow sheets, and the measurement of respiratory system mechanics.

Illustrate the differences in operation concept and clinical application between positive and negative pressure ventilators.

Evaluate the common pathological condition that changes the measurement of respiratory system mechanics.

Analyze different phases of the breath delivered during the inspiration, including the triggering mechanisms, the limit variables during inspiration, and the cycling mechanisms.

Assess the common conditions and physical examination signs establishing the need for mechanical ventilation.

Apply initial ventilator settings for different giving scenarios using the current clinical guidelines.

Evaluate and interpret the different graphics of ventilators to detect changes in the measurement of respiratory system mechanics.

Work effectively with appreciation and respect for diverse perspectives while working with peers in small or large groups.

Demonstrate effective communication skills and a commitment to continuous self-development during educational sessions.
