Description

 General Objective

Fundamentals of the principles of mechanical ventilation, as a pillar in the development of cognitive competences that allow the application of techniques and procedures, as a safe therapeutic alternative, in the complex physiopathological alterations of the respiratory patterns.

Addressed to:

Physicians, Physiotherapists, Nurses, Emergency Medical Technologists/Licensed in Medical Emergencies, students in their last year of their
and other health professionals related to the health area.
