CT20187 Caring for the Mechanically Ventilated Patient

"Caring for the Mechanically Ventilated Patient- a Patient-Centered Approach" Lecturer: Sangeeta Mehta MD, FRCPC. Admission to the ICU and mechanical ventilation are difficult experiences for patients and their family members. The goals of patient care have changed tremendously, and now focus on an awake, comfortable, and interactive patient, who can mobilize and participate in care. Achievement of these goals presents new challenges to ICU clinicians. This presentation will highlight important evidence related to comfort and sedation management, ICU delirium, mobilization, and the patient experience. Item # CT20187
