Management of tracheostomy and home ventilator for healthcare personnel

Management of Tracheostomy and Home Ventilator for Healthcare Personnel is organized by Sant Joan de Deu (SJD) Barcelona Children's Hospital and will be held on Feb 26, 2024 at Training Hospital Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain.

Description:
Through this training, health professionals who care for tracheostomized patients, especially if they are on invasive mechanical ventilation, will obtain the essential theoretical and practical knowledge that will improve the safety and quality of care for these patients.

It is important that the personnel who are part of the care process for tracheostomized patients dependent on invasive ventilation receive specific training, to be able to prevent, detect, and act on the appearance of complications that may appear. In most cases, the appearance of these complications is preventable through interdisciplinary work and the application of improvement strategies such as the training of professionals and the training of families.

This course will provide theoretical-practical knowledge through the use of simulation, which facilitates the learning of participants in the acquisition of skills and knowledge. In addition, it is a tool that improves teamwork and helps recognize the human factors that influence clinical decisions.
