Abstract

The emergence of COVID-19 as a global pandemic has placed an unprecedented strain on healthcare systems worldwide, highlighting a critical shortage of trained healthcare professionals equipped to manage such a crisis. This deficit poses a significant challenge to the delivery of healthcare services, particularly in the context of intensive care units (ICUs) where the use of advanced medical technologies, such as ventilators, is paramount. For nurses with limited experience in ICU settings, navigating the complexities of invasive positive pressure ventilation (IPPV), a principal method of mechanical ventilation for critically ill patients can be daunting. This article aims to serve as a comprehensive guide for nurses less familiar with the intricacies of managing patients on IPPV, offering insights and strategies to enhance their competence and confidence in this critical aspect of patient care.
