Activity Summary

Mechanical ventilation in the ICU is not one size fits all. Critical care nurses require the newest knowledge about invasive ventilation to improve patient outcomes. This session highlights ideal practices in modern-day management of the intubated patient, emphasizing lung-protective ventilation, physiological targets, early versus late tracheostomy, prolonged ventilation, weaning and liberation strategies. The future of mechanical ventilation, including use of artificial intelligence, is discussed. Interactive case studies help nurses apply key concepts about ventilation to specific situations.

Objectives

  • Explain physiological alterations in the respiratory system that necessitate intubation and mechanical ventilation.
  • Cite evidence-based best practices in mechanical ventilation for the critically ill and injured, emphasizing lung-protective strategies.
  • Apply the latest knowledge about mechanical ventilation to clinical situations, avoiding problems while optimizing best patient outcomes.
