2018 Mechanical Ventilation Waveform Analysis

Mechanical ventilation waveforms can be useful to the respiratory therapist tailoring the ventilator management of the critically ill patient. This presentation will explore the science of ventilator-generated graphics and discuss graphics in context of specific clinical situations. The importance of ventilator waveform analysis and appropriate corrective action will be discussed.
