EP21: ARDS Lung Protective Ventilation

  • Summary

  • Hey friends! In episode 21, we go over acute respiratory distress syndrome diagnostic criteria, risk factors, and management. A big part of ARDS management is appropriate ventilation. Ventilation strategies for ARDS have been called "lung protective ventilation" or "low tidal volume ventilation" (LTVV) and have intricacies that are helpful to be aware of. Some of these intricacies include tidal volume calculations, PEEP requirements, and the possibility of proning. We talk a lot about proning and the data behind prone ventilation, the contraindications to proning, and how to keep your patients safe while doing prone ventilation. Hope you learn something new in this episode!
