In this clinical deep dive, we break down the strategies and concepts behind ventilating patients with COPD, asthma exacerbations, and other obstructive lung diseases in the ICU and ED.
You’ll learn:
• Key pathophysiology behind air trapping & dynamic hyperinflation
• How to set ventilator parameters (I:E ratio, tidal volume, PEEP)
• The role of permissive hypercapnia and prolonged expiratory time
• Troubleshooting high peak pressures and auto-PEEP
• Weaning mechanical ventilation
This video is tailored for medical students, residents, critical care fellows, respiratory therapists, and clinicians managing complex ventilated patients.
