High Performance Ventilation Course

The Manual Ventilation Academy knows that the research shows that, more often than not, EMS providers have trouble ventilating patients. If done correctly good ventilations can increase survival three-fold and quadrupling better neurological outcomes. In this eye-opening hands on workshop, Bob Page shows participants how to ventilate patients by BVM, via mask, ET tube, and supraglottic airways using state of the art simulators and ventilation feedback devices that measure pressures, volumes, and ventilatory rates. You will be gain valuable insight, skills and improve your ventilation ability using this valuable feedback and coaching system. This lab features the tools and techniques to introduce to you the concept of high-performance ventilation.

Starting as a volunteer firefighter in 2007 and subsequently being “encouraged” to pursue EMT-Basic in 2010, Joshua became enamored with the world of Emergency Medical Services. After achieving his Paramedic certification in 2013, he then sought full-time employment, landing at Mandeville Fire Department (St. Tammany FD4), an ALS transporting fire service in Louisiana. After working as a street medic and firefighter for nearly 5-years, an opportunity to help build and grow an ALS program with St. George Fire Protection District No. 2 presented itself and was eagerly pursued. Now serving as the Assistant Chief of EMS for SGFD, Joshua is working towards advancing his department’s stance in the world of EMS through implementation of new technologies while also leading by example and working to further his educational background.
