Oxygen therapy, awake self positioning and non-invasive ventilation: lessons from Respiratory ICU

Background: The CMC Vellore COVID PUblic Lecture SEries (COVID PULSE) were instituted with the aim to: a) Provide clinicians with up-to-date knowledge on integral aspects of COVID-19 management to inform clinical care and improve patient outcomes b) Bring together doctors from various backgrounds so that questions regarding the feasibility of interventions and/or barriers to implementation across diverse care scenarios are examined and addressed c) Provide ideas for further innovation and d) Help clinicians design or refine protocols in the context of available resources.

This is the first lecture in the CMC Vellore COVID PUblic Lecture SEries (COVID PULSE). Speaker: Dr. Barney Isaac, Professor, Department of Pulmonary Medicine, CMC Vellore. Moderator: Dr. Binila Chacko, Professor, Medical ICU, Division of Critical Care, CMC Vellore

Outline of the lecture:
1. Respiratory physiology relevant to the management of COVID19
2. Principles of oxygen therapy – sources, delivery devices, indications, oxygenation targets, interventions to minimise risk to healthcare workers
3. Non-invasive ventilation – principles, types, indications, requirements for providing NIV
4. Awake self-positioning
