A live, practice CPD webinar which gives a more in-depth knowledge and understanding of the physiology of ventilation and ideal for people who would like to start using equipment for pressure cycling.
SKU: CPD-WEB-VENT-LEVEL-2
That is why, with Burtons Academy, we offer live practice webinar-styled education from our clinical team on a wide range of anaesthetic monitoring and ventilation topics suitable for both veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses, with brand new content scheduled to be added in the coming months.
This webinar and the others in the ventilation series have been customised for the specific requirements of vets and nurses in practice. The content has been designed, written, and will be presented by lead clinical professionals Keith Simpson MRCVS and Karen Heskin MRCVS, who have decades of collective experience spanning general and referral practice, research, development, and teaching.
What will this webinar cover?
This webinar is suitable for vets and nurses with experience of using Merlin for volume cycling, who want a more in-depth knowledge and understanding of the physiology of ventilation and would like to start using the equipment for pressure cycling. This slightly more advanced webinar will delve deeper into the physiology of ventilation and the effects of IPPV on the cardiorespiratory and other body systems. We will explore the principles of pressure cycling, discussing when and why this approach would be used. We will review how to prepare and operate Merlin for pressure cycling and consider the inbuilt safety features unique to this ventilator.
This webinar also examines the Merlin ventilator's Assist mode and addresses common challenges, such as patients “fighting the ventilator”. We will also review when to choose volume or pressure cycling.
Additionally, participants will gain a clear understanding of potential complications that may arise during ventilation. This in-depth exploration of pressure cycling will help veterinary professionals elevate their ventilation practices, fostering safer and more effective respiratory support for their patients.
Clinical Director Keith Simpson BVSc MRCVS MIET(electronics) has extensive knowledge of patient ventilation, respiratory physiology and anaesthetic monitoring, and has been involved in equipment design and anaesthesia research since 1994. Karen Heskin BVSc CertSAO MSc(VAA) MRCVS has a special interest in anaesthesia, including capnography, monitoring and perioperative analgesia. Evidence-based veterinary medicine is at the core of this webinar series and Karen is keen to share this knowledge with the veterinary community. Karen has a background as a small animal GP and referral surgeon, making her the perfect candidate to tackle the day-to-day issues you might face in practice. Both Keith and Karen are members of the Burtons Clinical team and Burtons Academy.
