Through this program, you will delve into the state-of-the-art techniques for the application of NIMV ventilatory parameters"

The configuration of ventilatory parameters plays a fundamental role in the application of Non-Invasive Mechanical Ventilation. In this line, it provides valuable information on the interaction between the patient and the ventilation device, offering the possibility of adapting it to preserve the patient's quality of life. Because of this, the techniques for its adjustment are undergoing constant improvement, in order to apply the best care to people suffering from various respiratory conditions.

Therefore, keeping up to date in this field is essential for nurses seeking to perform state-of-the-art healthcare practice. As such, these professionals must be aware of the latest scientific evidence on recommendations regarding pressure, volume, flow and Ti/Ttot settings.

Likewise, they are required to identify state-of-the-art mechanisms for assessing patient tolerance and adaptation to Non-Invasive Mechanical Ventilation.

To achieve this, TECH has developed the Postgraduate certificate in Ventilatory Parameters in NIMV for Nurses, which will be taught in a 100% online format to allow the student to enjoy the didactic content at any time and from any place they wish. In addition, they will benefit from the revolutionary Relearning study method, which ensures effective knowledge acquisition adapted to the academic pace of the nurse.
