Gain knowledge to solve common mechanical ventilation problems
Weaning from mechanical ventilation

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

searches for, analyzes and synthesizes data and information

works in an international environment

works in an interdisciplinary environment

searches, analyzes and synthesizes cognitive information, using the necessary technologies
