Description:
This module will discuss noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) and the educational needs of clinicians and patients using this therapy. NPPV provides an exciting alternative to invasive methods of managing ventilation. Used appropriately, NPPV provides advantages for patients versus endotracheal intubation. NPPV can also be used as a mode to support the patient moving to a transitional care environment for continued care.
Goal and Learning Outcomes:
The goal of this educational course is to provide acute and critical care clinicians with evidence supporting the use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation as well as strategies for its application.
After taking this course, you should be able to:
• Recall the advantages of NPPV versus endotracheal intubation.
• Identify care considerations for NPPV.
• Identify interface devices for patients requiring NPPV and their uses.
