Objective: To evaluate the theoretical knowledge of students on Mechanical Ventilation before and after an educational intervention. Method: Documentary, descriptive and retrospective study with a quantitative approach, conducted during July 2017 in a mini-course on Mechanical Ventilation that evaluated the participants' knowledge about the theme. The binomial test was used to verify whether the proportion of correct answers among students was greater than 70% in each question (p <0.05). Results: With a sample of 92 participants, there was an improvement in knowledge in which there was an increase in the frequency of correct answers in questions about Inspiratory Frequency (97.7% - 43, p = 0.999), Gasometry (84.1% - 37, p = 0.496), Multiprofessional Team (97.7% - 43, p = 0.999), Ventilatory Modes (97.7% - 43, p = 0.999), PSV Mode (Pressure Support Ventilation) (86.4% - 38, p = 0.663), Complications of the Mechanical Ventilator (88.6% - 39, p = 0.809) and Pressure Cycling (95.5% - 42, p = 0.993). Conclusion: This study demonstrated a significant change in the level of knowledge about MV of the participants involved, showing the effectiveness of the implementation of training courses.
