The ESICM Advanced Course in ARF & MV will integrate at an advanced level topics such as COPD and Weaning (SBT). Interactive lectures will alternate with clinical case discussions, practical demonstrations and discussion of techniques.
As a participant – you still have access to the virtual classroom on the ESICM ACADEMY
