Pre-Symposium Workshops

8 JULY 2026

Time 0800 – 1700 (GMT+8)
Venue Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center
Format Interactive lectures/case-based discussions & small group breakout sessions with hands-on
Introduction The Advanced Invasive Mechanical Ventilation Workshop is a full-day course designed for Advanced Trainees/Consultants and Senior Respiratory Therapists who manage patients with acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure in the Intensive Care Unit.
Objectives The course will cover the following topics, via a combination of interactive lectures/case-based discussions and smaller group breakout sessions with hands-on:

1. Goals of mechanical ventilation
2. When to use controlled ventilation vs. when to allow spontaneous breathing
3. How to individualise lung protective ventilation in a patient under controlled mechanical ventilation, including:

  • Assessment for airway opening pressure
  • Assessment of recruitability through different techniques
  • Selective use of recruitment manoeuvres
  • Advanced respiratory monitoring techniques, e.g. oesophageal pressure monitoring and electrical impedance tomography

4. Managing the transition from controlled ventilation to spontaneous breathing, including:

  • Monitoring and modulating respiratory drive and effort
  • Identifying and troubleshooting patient-ventilator dy-synchrony
  • Achieving lung- and diaphragm-protective ventilation

5. Weaning/liberation from invasive mechanical ventilation
Target Participants Advanced Trainees/Consultants and Senior Respiratory Therapists who routinely manage acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure in the ICU
