Mechanical Ventilation Workshop
The AARC is proud to announce the offering of the
2006 Mechanical Ventilation Course and Workshops
Sunday, Dec 10th, the day before the Congress starts
8:00 am–4:50 pm
Las Vegas Convention Center
Las Vegas, Nevada
COURSE REGISTRATION IS NOW FULL.
Back by popular demand!
This is a great opportunity for you to maximize your attendance at the International Respiratory Congress. To be held the day before the Congress begins. Attendance is limited to 150 attendees, first-come, first-served. Registration is separate from the Congress registration. Approved for 6.7 units of Continuing Respiratory Care Education (CRCE) credit.
Description: Some of the most noted experts on mechanical ventilation in the respiratory care community will conduct the course and workshops. They will update participants on the current state-of-the-art thinking on mechanical ventilation. Specifically, the course will
- Review basic principles of mechanical ventilatory support;
- Review recent advances in the evidence-base for strategies of mechanical ventilatory support; and
- Provide hands-on workshops on newer technologies for providing mechanical ventilatory support.
Who May Attend: Therapists, physicians, nurses and other health professionals providing mechanical ventilatory support.
