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

Introduction The Critical Care Ultrasound (CCUS) workshop is a full-day course on Critical Care Ultrasound (CCUS) comprising modules on Lung and Diaphragm Ultrasound, Lower Extremity DVT Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS), Abdominal/FAST Ultrasound, Venous Excess Score (VEXUS), and Neuro POCUS for the critically ill adult. This course complements the 1-day course on Critical Care Echocardiography Workshop.
Objectives The course will cover the following topics:

1. Principles of Medical Ultrasound & Knobology

2. Ultrasound image acquisition protocols, interpretation and clinical correlation

• Lung and Diaphragm: Identification of pleural sliding, A and B lines, consolidation, pneumothorax and pleural effusions, diaphragm thickening fraction and excursion 

• Lower Extremity DVT POCUS: Vascular sono-anatomy of the lower limb, B mode compression test for DVT, colour and pulse wave doppler

• Abdominal and FAST: Identification of intra-abdominal free fluid, renal and bladder scanning for obstructive uropathy, and pocus for abdominal aorta

• Venous Excess Score: IVC measurement, Doppler (hepatic vein, portal vein, renal vein)

• Neuro POCUS: Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter, 2D Brain Sonography, Transcranial Doppler (Middle Cerebral Artery)
Target Participants This course is open to all healthcare practitioners involved in the care of critically ill adults, including those with little or no prior experience in point-of-care ultrasound. Junior and senior physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals who wish to begin their CCUS learning journey are welcome. For the hands-on practical stations, participants will be grouped according to their professional background.

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 the following topics:

  • 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
