This course provides participants with an overview of the basic technical skills and clinical information to enable safe use of noninvasive ventilation. NIV has been increasingly used in recent years, both in the acute and long-term setting. Accordingly, the number of health care professionals exposed to this technique has also increased.

An application will be made to the EACCME for CME accreditation of this event. The number of credits that you will receive corresponds to your attendance during the course. Please note that you need to sign the register of attendance each day to ensure that you receive the CME credits.
