Professor Antonio Pesenti is Professor of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at the University of Milan, Italy.
He achieved his medical qualification and board certificate in Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine from the University of Milan, cum laude.
After two years (1977-1979) spent as a Visiting Fellow at the NIH (USA) in the Section of Cardiac and Pulmonary Assist Devices, under the direction of Professor T. Kolobow, he came back to Italy subsequently becoming Assistant Professor.
He is the author and/or editor of numerous textbooks and of more than 400 published scientific and educational articles. He is one of the most distinguished researchers in the field of respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation and extra corporeal membrane oxygenation.
His research has always been focused on understanding the pulmonary physiology and management of acute respiratory failure, with an emphasis on mechanical ventilation, ARDS imaging and ECMO.
Attended by key Critical care specialists from Egyptian Universities , the second Egyptian Italian Critical care Symposium took place on 29 December , 2022 at the Learning Resource Center , Kasr Al Ainy , Cairo University .
The symposium is organized by ECCCP in continuation of the Egyptian Italian Critical Care series organized in celebration of the 150th anniversary of Opera Aida last year.

Course Modules
Day 1:
Module 1 : Introduction to Mechanical Ventilation
Learning Objectives of this module :
This module is designed to provide the candidate with a basic understanding of lung mechanics and pulmonary mechanical forces during spontaneous breathing and with positive pressure ventilator support. These components: resistance, compliance, and elastance impact the patients’ work of breathing during spontaneous and positive pressure ventilation.
After completing this module, the candidate will be able to:
Module 2 Initiation of Mechanical Ventilation
Learning Objectives of this module :
This module is designed to provide the trainee with a basic understanding of different conventional modes of positive pressure ventilation as well as the initial settings recommended in each mode.
At the end of this module ,the candidate will be able to:
DAY TWO
Module 3: Management of Mechanical Ventilation
Learning Objectives of this module :
This module is designed to provide the candidate with algorithms for management of patients on mechanical ventilation including hypoxia, hypercarbia as well as troubleshooting
At the end of this module ,the candidate will be able to:
Module 4: NIV & Discontinuation of Mechanical Ventilation
Learning Objectives of this module
This module is designed to provide the trainee with the principles and criteria of using Non Invasive Ventilation and liberation of patient from mechanical ventilation as well as extubation.
At the end of this module ,the candidate will be able to:
DAY 3
Module 5:Mechanical Ventilation in ARDS, COPD & Asthma -Patient Ventilator Asynchrony
Learning Objectives of this module
This module is designed to provide the trainee with the principles and criteria of Ventilator management strategies for adults with ARDS as well as management strategies in ventilation patients with COPd and Asthma
At the end of this module ,the candidate will be able to:
o Recognize how to wean patients from Mechanical Ventilation in ARDS
o Recognize different types of patient ventilator asynchrony and their plan of management
Module 6: Advanced Mechanical Ventilation Modes
Learning Objectives of this module
This module is designed to provide the trainee with the current practice of advanced mechanical ventilation modes and how these modes emerged from the need of greater control of the ventilator by the patient, the possibility of better synchrony and monitoring of the respiratory mechanics
At the end of this module ,the candidate will be able to:
Understand the characteristics of the advanced modes and their benefits and the criteria for choosing them
