The expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP), and the inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP). Set pressures at 50% higher levels than used with the Face Mask. On BIPAP set the rise time or the speed on the lowest setting as possible and there will be no issues with the triggering.

JAMA, 315(22), 2435–2441. https://doi.org/10.1001/jama.2016.6338 WHAT EXPERTS ARE SAYING The course is impressive, thorough, detailed, and a must-see for all inter-professional teams working with COVID-19 patients (at a minimum). 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.

She was awarded a Master of Science in Nursing as an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner at Rush University College of Nursing in 2014. There, she did her case presentation, Non-invasive 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. Aurika Savickaite has been committed to community service for many years.

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. Special Price $125 for countries not in the World Bank "high-income group". How long would it take me to finish this course? A total of four hours. Why should I buy this course from you? Course creators researched it and consulted with experts in the field. In addition, the course was reviewed by clinicians, long-time helmet users and bioengineers. "The materials are based on their unique first-hand knowledge of the equipment on the market, and are designed to provide the most critical information which respects the learner’s background and limited time. This course is a must for people planning to implement HNIV in their facility, and is highly recommended for current practitioners in order to get up-to-date with current literature and methods.
