“Bedside Lung Protective Ventilation: A Personalized Approach”
Initiatives Webinar series with support from Medtronic* & Phillips* presents…“Bedside Lung Protective Ventilation: A Personalized Approach”
Invasive mechanical ventilation is the main supportive therapy used in ICU patients. However, although mechanical ventilation is critical for the survival of patients with acute respiratory failure, it can also be injurious (ventilator-induced lung injury) to non-affected lung areas, or to normal lungs. A well-recognized strategy, lung protective ventilation, can prevent lung injury and decrease morbidity and mortality in ARDS as well as non-ARDS patients. Lung protective ventilation is based on low tidal volumes and limited airway pressures (plateau, PEEP and driving pressures). These parameters need to be closely monitored at bedside in order to develop a personalized approach to protective mechanical ventilation and ultimately, improve outcomes.
Learning Objectives | After this activity, participants should be able to:
- Discuss the clinical evidence relating to ventilator-induced lung injury
- Discuss the physiological basis of lung protective ventilation (LPV)
- Describe the settings for LPV at the bedside
- Discuss the personalize approach to bedside monitoring of LPV
