1) Read & consider the Pre-reading resources.
2) Briefly review the Assumed Knowledge resources and refresh your understanding as required.
3) If you would like to dive deeper, consider the Extension Resources.
4) Come along to the in person session and have fun!
Please read/watch these resources prior to attending the in-person sessions.
Using a Hamilton T1:
Locate inspiratory hold
Find leak %
Identify where plateau pressure is displayed
You may choose to either read the content or listen to the podcast linked on the webpage.
Focus on:
Interface choice
CPAP vs BiPAP
Leak
Recognising failure
Escalation
Patient:
RR 36 bpm
Sats 84%
pH 7.25
CO2 68mmHg
Would you:
Optimise NIV?
Continue?
Intubate?
Real procedure. Please be mindful of your surroundings when viewing.
What triggers your decision for FONA?
Build your first 60-second approach to:
Post intubation desaturation
Low ETCO2
Rising airway pressures
Optional, but highly recommended if you need a refresher.
Optional extra resources if you'd like to explore further.
