Mayo Clinic’s Mechanical Ventilation Online Course provides a clinically focused, physiology-driven approach to ventilatory support across acute respiratory failure. The course emphasizes lung- and diaphragm-protective strategies, ARDS management, ventilator modes, and prevention of ventilator-induced lung injury, integrating updated ARDS definitions and real-time bedside tools such as ultrasound. Practical, case-based content highlights management of refractory hypoxemia and optimization of patient–ventilator interaction to enhance safety, precision, and outcomes in critical care.

Target Audience
This course is designed for critical care providers, respiratory therapists, physicians, physician assistants, nurses and nurse practitioners.
Learning Objectives
- Apply core respiratory physiology and mechanical ventilation principles to select and adjust ventilator modes.
- Summarize evidence‑based strategies for the prevention and management of ARDS.
- Recall complex patient–ventilator interactions.
- Identify advanced diagnostic and monitoring tools to assess lung injury, guide PEEP titration, and inform ventilatory decision‑making.
- List systematic approaches to advanced respiratory failure to enhance interdisciplinary critical care practice.
