Description
Everyone wants to think “AIRWAY”… but what about VENTILATION?! This session will enlighten the participant with a deeper understanding of how evidence-based practices can enhance patient care in the field. You will discover the impact of both good and bad ventilation on patient survival and outcomes. New evidence-based research will be presented, come listen to the latest.
Explore the challenges of mask seals, the advantages of mechanical ventilation, and the potential risks of prolonged apnea before and after advanced airway placement. Additionally, we’ll delve into the ills of hyperventilation and the dangers of excessive tidal volumes, which can lead to negative outcomes for patients. You will walk away with the knowledge and tools needed to improve your ventilation techniques, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes in the prehospital setting.

Learning Objectives
At the end of this session, the participants will:
1. Debate the advantages and disadvantages of mechanical versus manual ventilation in prehospital care, based on evidence from recent research.
2. Advocate for the standardization of ventilation practices, emphasizing the importance of ventilation type and the risks associated with hyperventilation 1`and excessive tidal volumes.
3. Evaluate the impact of ventilation techniques on patient survival and long-term recovery, considering the latest research on ventilation effectiveness and its correlation with improved patient outcomes in prehospital care.
4. Describe the pearls and pitfalls of bag-valve-mask (BVM) ventilation and their impact on patient outcomes.
