Ventilator Management for Critical Patients
Own the ventilator — don't just push the buttons.
A ventilator is a life-sustaining intervention and an instrument of harm in the same box. This eight-hour, in-person program trains providers in ventilator management for critically ill trauma and medical patients, including hands-on operation of a selection of available ventilators, so that the provider, not the machine's defaults, is making the clinical decisions.

PRICING
Our instructional philosophy is simple: you’re not buying a course, you’re buying a training program. When you take an F2L training, you get your initial training to achieve mastery and a comprehensive training program designed to maintain your skills once you leave the classroom.
Being able to practice your learning means that you need to have both a longitudinal training program and the equipment in hand to execute that program. Without that equipment, your skills will decay.
Given that, then only real question for any student in deciding what tier of each class to take is what equipment you need to execute the training plan after the class. The class tiers are set up as follows:
Tier 1 - The individual student who needs it all. Each student will leave the classroom with all of the training equipment necessary to perform all the longitudinal training exercises on their own in additional to the longitudinal training program content.
Tier 2 - The team who needs it all. If you work with a team that only needs a single set of training gear for a specific number of students, this is the tier for you. The courses are priced for a specific number of students sharing one set of training gear. If you would like a different ratio of students to sets of training gear, contact us for pricing.
Tier 3 - For those who already have it all. If you have the training gear already, this tier gives you the initial class and the longitudinal training program content; you bring your own training gear to the exercises.

Tier 1 - $23,500 / student
Tier 2 - Team of 4 students - $34,000 ($8,500 / student)
