HealthStream®: Mechanical Ventilator Settings to Optimize Patient-Ventilator Synchrony
Please choose your accreditation type.
Online
Overview
Ventilator asynchrony, or a mismatch between patient and ventilator breaths, commonly occurs in ventilated patients and can be attributed to a number of patient- and ventilator-associated factors. Ventilator settings can be manipulated to optimize patient-ventilator synchronization. This continuing education activity will review ventilator settings and discuss how they can be adjusted to promote optimal patient-ventilator synchrony.
