Workshop on Oxygen Delivery System, CPAP and PEEP in Children
Organized by: Department of Child Health Nursing, Adichunchanagiri College of Nursing, in association with the Department of Pediatrics, AH & RC, B.G. Nagara
Date: 20-06-2026
Time: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Venue: Lecture Hall–04 and PICU Demonstration Stations
Recognizing the importance of developing clinical competence in pediatric respiratory care, the Department of Child Health Nursing, Adichunchanagiri College of Nursing, in association with the Department of Pediatrics, Adichunchanagiri Hospital and Research Centre B.G. Nagara, organized a Workshop on “Oxygen Delivery System and CPAP & PEEP in Children” on 20th June 2026 from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Lecture Hall-05 & Demonstration in Different station at PICU. The workshop aimed to provide nursing students with comprehensive knowledge and practical exposure to various oxygen delivery devices and non-invasive ventilation techniques used in pediatric settings.
*Aims of the Workshop*
1. To enhance the knowledge of participants regarding various oxygen delivery systems used in pediatric care.
2. To strengthen practical skills in the application and monitoring of CPAP and PEEP therapy in children.
3. To promote safe and evidence-based respiratory care practices in pediatric intensive care settings.
4. To improve the competence of nursing students in recognizing and managing respiratory distress in children.
5. To bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and clinical practice through hands-on learning experiences.
Pre-test conducted on methods of oxygen delivery before starting the session after that Dr. Nandhakumar N Associate Professor department of pediatrics AH & RC focused on Respiratory disorders & Complication which become one of the leading causes of death among infants and children worldwide. Low flow Oxy gen & High flow Oxygen methods, Timely administration of oxygen therapy and appropriate use of respiratory support systems such as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) play a crucial role in improving clinical outcomes and reducing complications in critically ill pediatric patients.
Followed by lecture session, Dr. Greeshma and Dr. Karthik Dr. Monika demonstrated the identification of children for low flow oxygen methods and high flow oxygen methods, how to use and when to use different methods and its application to the students . Clarified the students’ doubts, finally Post -test was conducted. The difference between pre & post scores were made, Post test score was found , which shows Significant improvement in the students’ knowledge and practice compared with the pretest score. It was found to be very effective.
Expected Outcomes
At the end of the workshop, the participants were able to:
1. Demonstrate enhanced knowledge regarding various oxygen delivery methods used in pediatric care, including nasal cannula, oxygen mask, non-rebreather mask, and high-flow oxygen devices.
2. Identify appropriate oxygen delivery systems based on the child's age, clinical condition, and oxygen requirements.
3. Develop practical skills in setting up, administering, and monitoring oxygen therapy safely and effectively in children.
4. Understand the principles and applications of CPAP and PEEP in managing pediatric respiratory distress and critical illnesses.
5. Recognize early signs of respiratory compromise and initiate timely interventions to prevent complications.
6. Gain hands-on experience through PICU station demonstrations, thereby improving confidence in managing children requiring respiratory support.
7. Strengthening clinical decision-making abilities related to oxygen administration and non-invasive ventilation in pediatric settings.
*Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Alignment*
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being
Target 3.2: End preventable deaths of newborns and children under five years of age.
Target 3.8: Achieve universal health coverage, including access to quality essential healthcare services.
