Case-Based Ventilator Graphics: Using Graphics to Optimize Patient Management

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The panel of doctors discussed case-based ventilator graphics and how to recognize and address common issues. Dr. Natalie Yip, Dr. Brady Scott, and Dr. David Vines each presented on different types of dysynchrony, such as mis-triggering, breath stacking, and active exhalation. They explained how to identify these issues using scalar graphics and provided solutions to mitigate them. For example, increasing or decreasing inspiratory and expiratory times or adjusting flow rates. They also discussed the importance of recognizing intrinsic PEEP or air trapping and circuit leaks in patients on ventilators. The panel emphasized the need for individualized treatments and using mechanical ventilation settings to optimize patient management. Overall, the presentations provided practical information on identifying and addressing dysynchrony in ventilated patients.
