Mechanical ventilation (MV) can impair gas exchange, destabilise hemodynamics, and injure endothelial cells. Intravenous (IV) fluid therapy helps to restore hemodynamics and ensure adequate distal organ perfusion. However, the interplay between restrictive and liberal fluid strategies due to the complex physiological interaction between the heart and lungs may affect ventilation and risk organ damage in critically ill patients. Tune in to our next podcast and learn more about the fluids-MV interplay!

In this episode, Dr. Jerry Gentile discusses mechanical ventilation and its importance in critical and emergency settings. Mechanical ventilation applies positive pressure breaths to patients with impaired ventilation, compromised airways, or respiratory failure. Respiratory therapists need a thorough understanding of mechanical ventilation, airway mechanics, and human anatomy to effectively manage intubated or tracheostomized patients. The three primary indications for invasive mechanical ventilation are airway compromise due to disease, hyperventilation resulting from impaired drive or gas exchange difficulties, and hypoxemic respiratory failure. The management of mechanically ventilated patients requires a multidisciplinary collaboration, including physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and family support.Support the Show.https://tracheostomyeducation.cominstagram.com/tracheostomyeducationlinkedin.com/in/nicole-de-palma-708b16blinkedin.com/in/dr-jerry-gentile

On this episode of The Build Show Podcast, Matt discusses the importance of ventilation with expert Corbett Lunsford, who you may know from his PBS Series Home Diagnosis. They explore the critical role ventilation plays in maintaining healthy indoor air quality and Corbett shares insights into designing effective HVAC systems.The conversation emphasizes the importance of air circulation, pollution capture, and filtration in residential buildings. They highlight the advantages of using Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) over traditional ventilation methods, particularly in tightly built homes. Corbett explains how ERVs can improve air quality and balance humidity, making homes more comfortable and energy efficient.Matt shares his personal experience with different ventilation strategies. They discuss practical tips for installing and commissioning ERVs, emphasizing the need for proper ductwork and air balancing. Corbett advises builders to prioritize mechanical ventilation systems that go beyond basic bath fans to ensure whole-house air quality.The episode also touches on the importance of kitchen exhaust systems and makeup air solutions.

Finally, I cover indications and hazards of using AC. For more information and practice go to www.myvresp.com You can also find RT Study Hall on Facebook and Youtube.
Eduardo Mireles, MD, director of the Medical Intensive Care Unit and vice-chair of the Department of Critical Care Medicine at Cleveland Clinic, discusses the current gap between ventilator technology, with its multiple options, and the education needed for providers who monitor patients. He reviews the course he developed to address this gap, the Standardized Education on Ventilatory Assistance (SEVA), as well as where AI and the detection algorithms used in mechanical ventilation will take healthcare in the future.
We speak with Medtronic's Cyndy Miller about mechanical ventilation specifically in the acute care phase and the rehabilitation and recovery phase. Cyndy is a respiratory therapist of 40+ years and has been with Medtronic for more than 30. Enjoy our conversation with Cyndy. Send us a text

About our Guest:Dr. Yehya is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley and the University of California at Los Angeles School of Medicine. After completing pediatrics training at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, he completed his pediatric critical care fellowship at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), and joined the faculty after graduation in 2011. He is currently an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology and Critical Care and Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and an attending physician in the pediatric intensive care unit at CHOP.Dr. Yehya's research interests encompass all aspects of pediatric respiratory failure, with a particular emphasis on pediatric acute respiratory syndrome (ARDS) and mechanical ventilation. ARDS consists of sudden, severe flooding of the lungs in response to an inflammatory insult causing difficulty breathing, frequently requiring mechanical ventilation. Sepsis is a leading cause of ARDS in children. His long-term goal is better characterization of ARDS in children and to test therapies designed to improve outcomes. His NIH-funded work is assessing the utility of specific plasma biomarkers in pediatric ARDS, with subsequent proteomic characterization and testing in pre-clinical models. Dr. Yehya has several active studies involving biomarkers, clinical epidemiology, and pathophysiological mechanisms in the field of pediatric ARDS, and is involved in several multicenter and multinational collaborations.Objectives:After listening to this episode, learners should be able to:Develop a mental model for titrating PEEP in PARDS with the acknowledgement of standardized ARDSnet PEEP-FiO2 tables. (High vs Low PEEP strategy? Is this applicable to children?)Understand the relationship between peak inspiratory pressure and plateau pressure in managing patients with PARDS in pressure control modes of ventilation.Develop a mental model for understanding various measures of respiratory support and understand their strengths, limitations, and value as markers of ventilator induced lung injury (peak inspiratory pressure, plateau pressure, driving pressure, mechanical power).Recognize the potential benefits of measuring esophageal pressure as a surrogate of transpleural pressure to titrate respiratory support in PARDS.Acknowledgement:Thank you to Dr. Nick Bartel for his help in creating learning objectives for this series.How to support PedsCrit:Please rate and review on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!Donations are appreciated @PedsCrit on Venmo , you can also support us by becoming a patron on Patreon. 100% of funds go to supporting the show.Thank you for listening to this episode of PedsCrit.
