Why do you need to learn High-Performance Ventilation ?

Over the past two decades, the emphasis in CPR has predominantly been on chest compressions. While this remains essential, recent studies underscore the significant impact of High-Quality Ventilation on survival rates and neurological outcomes. A 2023 study by Idris et al., involving approximately 2000 patients, demonstrated that adequate ventilation can triple survival rates and quadruple the number of patients discharged from hospital with favorable neurological outcomes (1).

Despite this, recent studies consistently highlight the inadequate training of rescuers (2). Many patients are either hypoventilated or hyperventilated, significantly reducing their chances of survival. Even more concerning, instructors often struggle to accurately evaluate the participants in their courses (3). This inability to provide proper assessments hinders the overall effectiveness of the training, leading to gaps in knowledge and skills that can have serious consequences in real-world scenarios.

Given these findings, it is crucial for rescuers to learn High-Performance Ventilation. Proper training helps rescuers deliver the right tidal volumes and ventilation rates, directly impacting patient outcomes. By improving both the training and evaluation processes, we can ensure that rescuers are well-prepared and capable of delivering High-Performance Ventilation, ultimately saving more lives and improving neurological outcomes for patients.

High-Performance Ventilation Course
Objective

To address the critical need for improved training in manual ventilation, we offer an eye-opening, hands-on workshop led by Bob Page and his team of renowned speakers. In this course, you’ll learn how to ventilate patients using BVMs, masks, ET tubes, and supraglottic airways, all while utilizing state-of-the-art feedback devices that measure volumes and ventilatory rates. This innovative feedback and coaching system will provide you with valuable insights and skills to enhance your ventilation abilities.

Our course introduces the concept of High-Performance Ventilation (HPV), featuring the latest tools and techniques. Designed in an arena format, the class provides ample time for hands-on practice, ensuring you gain practical experience. Please note, this is not an airway class, but a specialized ventilation class that focuses on using advanced ventilation equipment and feedback devices. Discover the pillars of High-Performance Ventilation and significantly improve patient outcomes through this comprehensive training.

Additionally, the High Performance Ventilation course is a certifying course that rewards participants with training credits. This certification acknowledges the advanced skills and knowledge gained, contributing to your professional development and ensuring you are well-equipped to handle critical ventilation scenarios.

Pillar 1: Tidal Volume

Tidal Volume (Vt) is the volume of gas that actually reaches the patient’s lungs at each insufflations. The ability to consistently deliver a normal tidal volume breath is a critical factor in delivering adequate O2 and eliminate the appropriate amount of CO2.

https://dev.manualventilationacademy.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/respiratory-rate.png

Pillar 2: Respiratory Rate

The Respiratory Rate (RR) corresponds to the number of insufflations performed each minute. It is a critical parameter, as a high Respiratory Rate is mainly responsible for hyperventilation, while a low Respiratory Rate can lead to hypoventilation.

Testimonials

"This class is extremely important. Without a patent airway with effective ventilation, survival is low."

Ian Pleet, Virginia

"I have always had thoughts that we as a service have always lacked skills and measurements for ventilations. This class proves those thoughts are true and how important feedback devices and skills are in this aspect of EMS."

S Rober Alaska.

"This class was very informative and helpful. I feel much more confident in my ability of ventilating a patient. Having immediate feedback from the device while ventilating was very insightful and helpful."

W. Dawson, Michigan
