What you will learn
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
The EIVASION MOOC "The Fundamentals" is dedicated to the basics of mechanical ventilation. Its main objectives are to introduce learners:
- to the major principles of respiratory physiology and mechanics, allowing interpretation of ventilator waveforms
- to the use of the main ventilatory modes during invasive and noninvasive ventilation.
It aims to make learners operational in mechanical ventilation, so that they are able to make appropriate decisions in many clinical situations.
Description
Mechanical ventilation is the primary life support for critically ill patients. Therefore, it is an essential life-saving technique in intensive care, emergency medicine, and anesthesia. However, if poorly adjusted, it can cause complications and increase mortality.
This MOOC offers particularly innovative pedagogical content, based on simulation. EIVASION is a French acronym for "Innovative Teaching of Mechanical Ventilation through Simulation."
At the end of the EIVASION MOOC "The Fundamentals", learners will have the opportunity to improve their understanding of patient-ventilator interactions and clinical practice of ventilation with a second MOOC: the EIVASION MOOC "Advanced Level" on FUN.
All teachers are clinical experts in the field of mechanical ventilation. The scientific committee of the EIVASION MOOC is composed of Prof. G.Carteaux, Prof. A.Mekontso Dessap, Dr. L.Piquilloud, and Dr. F.Beloncle.
Format
The course lasts for 6 weeks, the first of which is devoted to presenting the MOOC and the FUN platform. Learners are expected to spend 2 to 4 hours of work per week. Pedagogical resources include explanatory videos on theoretical parts, as well as simulation videos made "at the simulator's bedside" using interactive multi-camera shooting to reproduce teaching at the bedside of a real patient. Indeed, the simulator used is capable of reproducing any type of patient under mechanical ventilation. Moreover, during immersive serious games made up with simulation videos, you will be asked to make diagnoses and therapeutic decisions.
Prerequisites
This MOOC is primarily aimed at anyone who may be confronted with the use of mechanical ventilation in a professional environment. The list includes intensive care physicians, anesthesiologists, emergency physicians, pulmonary physicians, or cardiologists practicing intensive care, as well as students in all of these specialties. This MOOC is also aimed at paramedical personnel involved in the care of critically ill patients (nurses, anesthesia nurses, physiotherapists, respiratory therapists…), as well as professionals working in the artificial ventilation industry. This list is, of course, not exhaustive. To fully benefit from this MOOC, it is preferable to have a basic knowledge of respiratory physiology.
Assessment and certification
"Memory quizzes" will be conducted after each video. These are easy questions designed to memorize what the learner has just watched in a video. "Exercise quizzes" will be offered at the end of each week. They are a bit less easy and require a good understanding of the different chapters covered during the week. A successfully completed follow-up badge is awarded by FUN to learners who score over 60% on the evaluation quizzes.
The course in English version allows to obtain a certificate. In addition to the activities and quizzes, you will have to take a one-hour remotely proctored exam, consisting of multiple-choice questions (MCQs). The price of registration for the qualifying course is €150.
