Multiprofessional Critical Care Review: Pediatric 2024 (MCCRCP24ON)-02

02_Mechanical Ventilation and CRI

Pdf Summary

The document discusses mechanical ventilation and critical care concepts presented by Dr. Ira M Cheifetz, a professor of pediatrics at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Various modes of ventilation and their clinical applications are outlined. The importance of understanding ventilator-delivered breaths, including factors like limit, trigger, cycle, and flow pattern, is emphasized. The document touches on respiratory mechanics, compliance equations, time constants, dead space, ventilation-perfusion relationships, and cardiorespiratory interactions. The effects of positive pressure ventilation (PPV) on the right ventricle, left ventricle, and cardiovascular system are discussed, explaining how PPV can impact RV and LV filling, afterload, and preload. Key takeaways include the necessity of understanding mechanical breath concepts, basic equations, and the impact of mechanical ventilation on RV and LV function. The presentation concludes with Dr. Cheifetz's contact information.
