Mechanical Ventilation
For critically ill patients, mechanical ventilation can be a life-saving procedure, but it also has a number of dangers and problems. When a patient is unable to breathe properly on their own, mechanical ventilation refers to the use of a machine to support breathing. This session could explore the latest research and developments in mechanical ventilation, including optimal ventilator settings, strategies for weaning and, and emerging technologies such as high-frequency oscillatory ventilation and neutrally adjusted ventilatory assist.
