Format: Pre-congress course, LIVES 2023 (Milan, Italy)
Dates: 21-22 October 2023
Level 3. Advanced Master Course (integration and simulation) in Acute Respiratory Failure and Mechanical Ventilation will integrate at 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.
Join us for a competence based face to face event planned for October 2023, Milan.
