Target Audience
Intensivists, fellows and respiratory therapists who wish to improve thier ability
to manage complex cases of respiratory failure.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
• titrate PEEP in severe ARDS;
• assess patients for possible prone ventilation;
• interpret PV curves in severe ARDS.
This course is focused on the bedside management of mechanical ventilation in
severe respiratory failure. Participants will learn a physiologic approach to
managing the ventilator and interpreting the effects of interventions. We will cover
the uses and physiologic effects of PEEP, heart and lung interaction as it relates
to mechanical ventilation, and the physiology behind improved oxygenation in
prone ventilation and improved V/Q matching with the use of pulmonary
vasodilators. We will explore controversies in the physiologic literature concerning
these techniques and critically examine common clinical rationales for their use.
The course will include hands-on, case based simulations in which participants will
apply the principles covered in the didactic sessions.
