Anaesthesia | Organ failure | Non-invasive ventilation in the perioperative period



This session contains a link to the BJA Education article followed by a series of self assessment multiple choice questions.
The article will open in a new window or tab depending on your browser.
CPD credits are awarded by the RCoA for the time spent reading the article and successful completion of the self assessment questions. The pass mark is a score of 80% or more.
A CPD certificate can be printed from the Session Summary page at the end of the session.
