Challenges in Mechanical Ventilation - Patient-Ventilator Synchrony

Explore patient-ventilator synchrony in this 45-minute tribute video featuring Dr. Robert Kacmarek, a renowned leader in respiratory care. Gain insights into the four main types of asynchrony, understand how different ventilation modes affect synchrony, and examine outcome data demonstrating its clinical significance. Learn from Dr. Kacmarek's expertise as Director of Respiratory Care at Massachusetts General Hospital and Professor of Anesthesiology at Harvard Medical School. Includes a special tribute by Dr. John Arnold of Boston Children's Hospital. Delve into topics such as flow asynchrony, inspiratory time, mist triggering, tidal volume, and the importance of synchrony in mechanical ventilation. Enhance your understanding of this critical aspect of respiratory care through this comprehensive presentation offered by OPENPediatrics, an interactive digital learning platform sponsored by Boston Children's Hospital in collaboration with the World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies.
