Format: Pre-congress course, LIVES 2024 (Barcelona, Spain)
Dates: 
05-06 October 2024

Level 3. Advanced Course (integration and simulation) in Acute Respiratory Failure and Mechanical Ventilation will integrate at an advanced level topics such as individualised PEEP-setting and transitioning from controlled and assisted ventilation. Interactive lectures will alternate with clinical case discussions, practical demonstrations and discussion of techniques
