Content of the NIV education from WEINMANN
The NIV education offered by WEINMANN lasts approximately 2 hours and consists of a comprehensive theoretical component and practical, hands-on training.
Theoretical component: fundamentals of non-invasive ventilation
The theoretical component of our NIV education provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical and physiological fundamentals. The content includes, among other things:
- Fundamentals: indications, contraindications and physiological effects of non-invasive ventilation
- Use of the device: safe operation, settings, and monitoring
- The NIV therapy process: device presets, patient management, selection of appropriate masks
- Leakage and common problems: causes, identification and practical remedies during use
Practical component: hands-on training
The practical part of the NIV education focuses on the device: each participant will perform ventilation using their organization’s devices or ventilators that WEINMANN have brought along.
- Personal experience: self-administration, including simulation
- Parameter settings: real-time adjustment of parameters and their immediate impact on ventilation and patient comfort
- NIV masks in clinical practice: selection, fitting, and leak testing of various NIV mask types
If you think NIV could help the patient here—then go for it! You can always escalate care later and intubate the patient while they’re well preoxygenated. And even in cases where “it’s only a 10-minute drive to the hospital,” NIV is effective!
