Objective To develop and implement a ‘low-dose, high-frequency’ (LDHF) advanced respiratory care training programme for COVID-19 care in Lesotho.Design Prospective pretraining–post-training evaluation.Setting Lesotho has limited capacity in advanced respiratory care.Participants Physicians and nurses.Interventions Due to limited participation in May–September 2020, the LDHF approach was modified into a traditional 1-day offsite training in November 2020 that reviewed respiratory anatomy and physiology, clinical principles for conventional oxygen, heated high-flow nasal cannula and non-invasive ventilation management. Basic mechanical ventilation principles were introduced.Outcome measures Participants completed a 20-question multiple choice examination immediately before and after the 1-day training. Paired t-tests were used to evaluate the difference in average participant pretraining and post-training examination scores.Results Pretraining and post-training examinations were completed by 46/53 (86.7%) participants, of whom 93.4% (n=43) were nurses. The overall mean pretraining score was 44.8% (SD 12.4%). Mean scores improved by an average of 23.7 percentage points (95% CI 19.7 to 27.6, p |
