WELCOME
OBJECTIVES
This accredited course will familiarize participants with
anesthesia circuits and ventilation techniques in both open
and circular circuits. It is designed for anesthesiologists
who want to master the difficult subject of mechanical
ventilation in anesthesia and critical care.

COURSE STRUCTURE
14 THEORETICAL SESSIONS, 4 CLINICAL CASE
DISCUSSIONS AND 4 WORKSHOPS
The course will take place over the three
consecutive days, Thursday and Friday include
morning and afternoon sessions and Saturday a
morning session. We will work with anesthesia
stations, critical care ventilators, and in vivo and ex
vivo pig lungs to simulate critical clinical situations.
The technical theoretical curricula will be supplied
via internet to participants before the course and the
remaining material at the beginning of the course:
Book, laboratory workbooks, Javierito CD Simulator,
CD presentations and CD workshop videos.
We will begin with a small review test of our basic
knowledge of mechanical ventilation and a final
test to evaluate the acquired knowledge for credits.
Theoretical classes are 1 hour, with 40 minutes
theory and an additional 20 minutes for questions
and practical examples.
A lunch will officially close the course at mid-day
Saturday followed by a guided tour of the principal
sightseeing spots of Madrid for those who wish to
attend.
