CT 20215 Optimizing Mechanical Ventilation (Graphics and Adjuncts)

Item will be available in July.

This lecture will review some underutilized waveform basics that can make a big difference in optimizing the patient ventilator interaction.  We will also discuss calculations that can be derived from the waveforms, such as driving pressure, and the utilization of adjuncts such as esophageal pressure monometry (Pes) and electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to bring added information and detection of lung phenomena that would suggest need to change ventilation settings or ventilation strategy. Lecturer:Natalie Napolitano, MPH, RRT, RRT- NPS, FAARC. This presentation is sponsored by an unrestricted educational grant from Ventec Life Systems.
