I was engaged immediately in Module 1 by the history of helmet-based ventilation. I found it fascinating and informative (and plan to share it with others). Module 2 was well placed and instructive (especially to a neophyte like me) about basic pathophysiology, physiological explanations, and their interface with different helmet applications (i.e., CPAP & PAV). The clinical descriptions were informative & detailed. Module 3 was beneficial because it addressed many of the incidental questions providers might have in a classroom. These explanations were also detailed and thorough. The details would have been extremely useful to me if I worked with these helmets! My favorite section of this module was the self-proning & weaning section. I found myself saying, “wow, I never knew!” a couple of times. I also love that you have included the helmet failure factors. That is a necessary component of any education. In Module 4 , the issues and solutions sections were also comprehensive and thought-provoking. I especially loved the nursing interventions and nursing checklist. Module 5 is very timely to the future of nursing 2030 report in that it detailed the importance and pathways for creating inter-professional helmet teams. Detailing patient education and costs s separate considerations again demonstrates the thoroughness of the education, especially from a nurse’s and administrator’s viewpoint. In Module 6 , I found the design discussions between helmets fascinating and instructive. I particularly like that it emphasizes the discussion is focused on the United States' availability of helmets. The accessories discussion offered a thorough approach to what otherwise might be overlooked in a presentation of equipment. One of the essential takeaways I discovered is that helmets and helmet-based ventilation are patient-friendly, provider-friendly, and resource-friendly.

Upon buying or completing the course? If all team members have completed the course (RN, RT, and MD) and have applied at least 10-15 helmets in practice. What type of results do you see from other students who have taken this course? We observed clinicians who received educational training on the device start using it in practice much faster and have more confidence when operating it for the first time. We also saw positive results in patients who received helmet-based ventilation and avoided mechanical intubation compared to patients who were using face masks. How much money should I expect to save a year after completing this course? The savings are significant. Although it’s hard to quantify on an individual basis, a study by Kyeremanteng et al. (2018) showed that a helmet interface could save 449 million dollars a year in the US if used instead of a full face mask for selected group of patients. Do you offer any type of discount? Yes, we do. If you belong to an organization or have multiple healthcare professionals who want to take the course, please email us at support@HelmetBasedVentilation.com.

About us We created this website on 3/18/2020, at the peak of the pandemic uncertainty, to curate and share high-quality clinical and practical information for the global medical community about non-invasive ventilation (NIV) via helmet and to help healthcare professionals learn the benefits of this device for treating patients with COVID-19, a disease caused by a respiratory virus that can result in severe illness and respiratory distress in some people. ​ Using a helmet-based ventilator can save lives. For countries lacking enough traditional ventilators because of increased hospitalizations from severe cases of COVID-19, noninvasive ventilation (NIV) via helmet offers a viable solution. ​ A three-year trial study at the University of Chicago, that our founder Aurika was directly involved with, found ventilation via helmet is superior for these reasons: Results in faster recovery time, shortening an ICU stay Reduces the need to intubate Lowers ICU mortality Results in minimum or no sedation Provides a cost-saving (speedier recovery, less invasive treatment, and a lower-cost device) ​ Since then, our initiative received numerous awards and recognitions and has become a leading global depository of know-how and expertise in non-invasive helmet-based ventilation methods for patients with respiratory distress. We are in particular happy to share that in September 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) Clinical Care for Severe Acute Respiratory Infection Toolkit included helmet-based therapies, providing valuable information for clinicians who wish to use helmets to treat patients. ​ Our proprietary helmet-based ventilation training course is now available for free to help clinicians around the world to use helmets safely and effectively. ​ How YOU CAN HELP: ​ ALERT relevant experts and decision-makers about this info source – SHARE a link to our web www.helmetbasedventilation.com SUBMIT INFO & contact/capacity/shortage/resource DATA (non-invasive ventilation related ONLY) on worldwide Clinicians, ICU staff, and hospital leaders existing manufacturers, their capacities & needs for supplies or funding to expand output potential pivoting manufacturers, their capacities & needs for expertise, supplies, or funding to create new capacity public, private, and charity funding sources for hospitals and helmet suppliers hospital demand any other relevant ideas and suggestions ​ Aurika Savickaite Aurika Savickaite, RN, MSN, was involved in the successful testing of the helmet ventilator in the ICU at the University of Chicago during a three-year trial study . While in pursuit of a Master of Science in Nursing – Acute Care Nurse Practitioner degree at Rush University College of Nursing (2014), she wrote her capstone paper, Noninvasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NIPPV) for Treatment of Acute Respiratory Failure in Immunocompromised Patient, based on her experience with ventilation via the helmet. Savickaite has worked as a registered nurse and patient care manager at the University of Chicago Medical Center, Medical Intensive Care Unit, and as a staff nurse at Vilnius University Hospital, Santariskiu Clinic, in the intensive care unit. She earned a Bachelor of Rehabilitation and Nursing at Vilnius University Faculty of Medicine in 2001. ​ Aurika Savickaite has been committed to community service for many years. Currently, she is a member of the Chicagoland Lithuanians Rotary Club. Aurika Savickaite Advisor - Dr. John P. Kress, MD John P.

The initiative was featured in many top media outlets and presented at different business conferences and medical industry podcasts. It was also featured on the main website of Rotary International, showcasing various initiatives around the world (full text available online: https://www.rotary.org/en/hacking-solution-covid-19-pandemic) How this project started It all began the evening of March 17, 2020, while Aurika Savickaite and her husband, David Lukauskas, sat around the kitchen table in Chicago. They, like many others throughout the country, weren’t discussing St. Patrick’s Day festivities or the weather – the topic was the COVID-19 virus. ​ Aurika recalled the 3-year trial study and the successful testing of the helmet-based ventilation when she worked at the ICU at the University of Chicago Hospital. ​ Aurika shared this was only a study -- but while helmets were currently being used in Europe to treat COVID-19 affected patients, they were not being used in the United States, where cases of COVID-19 were increasing . ​ The statement caught David by surprise. ​ “What did you just say?” he asked Aurika. ​ That simple question sparked an into-the-night conversation as the couple discussed the potentially deadly outcomes should there not be enough beds in intensive care units or enough ventilators for the patients hospitalized with the COVID-19 virus. ​ The domain HelmetBasedVentilation.com was registered that night. The next day, David was telling his sister, Viktorija Trimbel, about this project. Before David could finish his explanation, Viktorija offered her help and joined the team. ​ Just one day later, the website was launched, it's being updated 24/7, connecting decision-makers and publishing content for medical professionals.
