The course is impressive, thorough, detailed, and a must-see for all inter-professional teams working with COVID-19 patients (at a minimum).

I was engaged immediately in Module 1 by the history of helmet-based ventilation. I found it fascinating and informative (and plan to share it with others).

Module 2 was well placed and instructive (especially to a neophyte like me) about basic pathophysiology, physiological explanations, and their interface with different helmet applications (i.e., CPAP & PAV). The clinical descriptions were informative & detailed.

Module 3 was beneficial because it addressed many of the incidental questions providers might have in a classroom. These explanations were also detailed and thorough. The details would have been extremely useful to me if I worked with these helmets! My favorite section of this module was the self-proning & weaning section. I found myself saying, “wow, I never knew!” a couple of times. I also love that you have included the helmet failure factors. That is a necessary component of any education.

In Module 4, the issues and solutions sections were also comprehensive and thought-provoking. I especially loved the nursing interventions and nursing checklist.

Module 5 is very timely to the future of nursing 2030 report in that it detailed the importance and pathways for creating inter-professional helmet teams. Detailing patient education and costs s separate considerations again demonstrates the thoroughness of the education, especially from a nurse’s and administrator’s viewpoint.

In Module 6, I found the design discussions between helmets fascinating and instructive. I particularly like that it emphasizes the discussion is focused on the United States' availability of helmets. The accessories discussion offered a thorough approach to what otherwise might be overlooked in a presentation of equipment.

One of the essential takeaways I discovered is that helmets and helmet-based ventilation are patient-friendly, provider-friendly, and resource-friendly.
