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

Introduction The Critical Care Outreach Workshop is a full-day programme focused on the establishment and operational aspects of a Rapid Response System (RRS). It covers the full hospital RRS chain, including activation, response, feedback, and administrative processes. The workshop is specifically designed to engage ICU practitioners involved in critical care outreach and rapid response services.
Objectives The course will cover:

  • Introduction to Core RRS Components: Perspectives in RRS and steps to establish RRS.
  • *Activation: Criteria for RRS activation and its implication for patient safety.
  • *Response: Quick and high-quality response for resuscitation services in the hospital.
  • *Feedback: Learn from experiences for better RRS.
  • *Administration: Organising RRS.
  • International Perspectives: Sharing Critical Care Outreach experience in various countries (Indonesia, Australia, Singapore) to highlight different models and implementation strategies.
  • Integration and Localisation: Integrating the system within the context of local wisdom and regulations in Indonesia.

*Including skill station
Target Participants Senior trainees and Consultants in Intensive Care & Respiratory Medicine/Anaesthesia/Emergency Department, and Critical Care Outreach (CCO) practitioners in Indonesia
