CT 20204 Diaphragm Protective Ventilation

Ventilator-induced diaphragm dysfunction is a growing concern in the literature. Various methods exist for monitoring patient effort, but minimal studies have used this information to adjust ventilation. This lecture will discuss the concept of diaphragm protective ventilation and present possible values to monitor for targeting an approach to ventilation that aims to protect the diaphragm. Lecturer: Thomas Piraino, RRT. This presentation is sponsored by an unrestricted educational grant from Getinge.
