Interventions

This is a randomized, parallel-group, blinded, two-group controlled trial. Participants will be healthcare professionals over 18 years of age working in intensive care units who agree to participate v

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Healthcare professionals over 18 years of age. Physicians or physiotherapists. Currently working in an intensive care unit. Directly involved in the management of ventilator support. Willing to participate voluntarily through informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Students. No current employment in an intensive care unit. No direct involvement in the operation of ventilator support. No willingness to participate voluntarily through informed consent. Absence exceeding 10 percent of scheduled sessions.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The study aims to determine whether mnemonic-based clinical training results in a statistically significant improvement in the ability to identify patient–ventilator asynchronies compared with conventional training. Identification ability will be assessed through theoretical examinations and the analysis of clinical cases involving the interpretation of pressure–time and flow–time ventilator waveforms before and after the educational intervention. In addition, a follow-up assessment will be conducted 15 to 30 days after completion of the training program. The primary outcome will be measured as the difference in the score for correct identification of patient–ventilator asynchronies between the experimental and control groups following completion of the training program.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The study aims to identify the factors associated with a greater ability to identify and correct patient–ventilator asynchronies following the educational intervention. The factors evaluated will include profession, years of clinical experience, duration of work in intensive care units, previous experience with mechanical ventilation, and prior participation in training programs related to ventilatory support. The ability to correct patient–ventilator asynchronies will be assessed through the analysis of simulated clinical cases and the selection of appropriate ventilator adjustment strategies before and after the educational intervention. Upon completion of the entire training program, a final follow-up assessment will be conducted 15 to 30 days after the last training session, providing an additional assessment time point for comparing performance between the two study groups.	—
