Ventilator Management Policy and Procedure
An editable NDIS ventilator management policy and procedure for providers supporting participants on invasive or non-invasive home ventilation. It sets out how trained, delegated workers deliver this high intensity support safely.
What is inside:
- Purpose, scope, policy statement and definitions, including PEEP, tidal volume and ventilator circuit
- Worker requirements: training, competency sign-off and written delegation from a Registered Nurse or Respiratory Clinician
- Equipment, including battery backup, bag-valve-mask and suction for tracheostomy ventilation
- Procedure for preparation, connecting, circuit checks and alarm response, always checking the participant first
- Contraindications, complications and escalation, including power failure and tracheostomy dislodgement
- Infection control, documentation, and a ban on workers changing settings or alarm limits
- Backup ventilator, life support registration, annual competency refresh and incident reporting
- Records and evidence, related documents and legislation table
Good to know: clinical content is reviewed by a Registered Nurse or relevant clinician before use, and bag-valve-mask competency is mandatory for every worker delegated this support.
