Academic Half Day: Acute Respiratory Failure
/Acute respiratory failure is a big topic but comes in two flavors - hypoxic and hypercapnic. We will be covering the diagnosis of respiratory failure, oxygen delivery, noninvasive and invasive ventilation, and the basics of acute respiratory distress syndrome.
If you would like to play with a vent, practice changing settings, and use a model (ARDS/COPD) patient to see how their gases are doing, check out this Hamilton Vent Simulation. It’s very helpful.
