Frontiers in Personalized Mechanical Ventilation for ARDS

Monday, January 22, 2024
3:15 PM – 4:15 PM MT
Location: North-120A
CE: 1.0

There is growing recognition that the heterogeneity of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) will require personalized medicine to make meaningful improvements in outcomes. This session will examine three emerging approaches to personalize mechanical ventilation in ARDS: driving pressure, electrical impedance tomography, and diaphragmatic protective ventilation. Each will offer a fresh perspective on how the care of these patients is evolving.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore how the use of driving pressure to titrate positive end-expiratory pressure in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) may be superior to the use of plateau pressure
  • Recognize the potential utility of electrical impedance tomography to avoid overdistension of the ventilated lung in patients with ARDS
  • Analyze how ventilatory strategies meant to avoid diaphragmatic weakness may afford the ability to improve the trajectory of respiratory failure in patients with ARDS

Presentations:

  • Pretty as a Picture: Using Electrical Impedance Tomography to Avoid Alveolar Overdistension in ARDS Patients Undergoing Mechanical Ventilation
  • Optimizing Driving Pressure to Manage Mechanical Ventilation in ARDS Patients
  • Diaphragm-Protective Ventilation: Is It Time to Give the Diaphragm a Break, Just Not Too Much?
