Advanced neonatal and pediatric mechanical ventilation course (Part 2)
Overview
Advanced neonatal and pediatric mechanical ventilation (part 2) is designed to provide the basic principles of neonatal and pediatric high frequency ventilation as well as the updated high frequency ventilation strategies in different pediatric and neonatal disorders. The course (part 2) also provides the latest updated knowledge and guidelines in neonatal conventional mechanical ventilation, including the most recent invasive and noninvasive neonatal ventilation modes and the evidence-based recommendations for the use of neonatal conventional mechanical ventilation in different neonatal disorders. The course will be held over three days.
