CT 20205 Optimizing Mechanical Ventilation: Human Thought or Computer Algorithm

ITEM WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL SCHEDULED RELEASE OF PROGRAM - END OF JULY 2020. Can mechanical ventilation be best optimized by reliance on computer algorithms, individual human thought, or a combination of both? While computer algorithms can standardize care and employ the most updated data, human thought allows individualization to specific patient conditions and includes the intangible concept of the “art of medicine.” This presentation will review the available data and provoke thought and discussion on this increasingly important and controversial topic. Lecturer: Ira Cheifetz, MD, FAARC. This presentation is sponsored by an unrestricted educational grant from Mallinckrodt.
