Mechanical Ventilators, such as the Hamilton T1, ReVel, and ZOLL Z-Vent, are not only vital pieces of equipment used in the ICU and in Critical Care Transport, but they are becoming more popular for use by EMS services for interfacility transport so it's vitally important that EMS and Critical Care providers have a deep understanding of not only how these devices work, but also how different disease processes changes the way our patient interacts with the ventilator.
And who better to learn from than a Respiratory Therapist.
In this episode, we have the pleasure of chatting with Joe Lewis, better known as the Respiratory Coach, as he schools us on Dynamic and Static Compliance, how we can use our PIPs and Plateau Pressures to identify changes in both, and how we can optimize PEEP by looking at changes in Static Compliance. We also go off the deep end discussing Driving Pressure and how this just may be the future of mechanical ventilation.
