Washington, DC

CME credits and MOC points: 4.25

Learn how the use of graphic displays of airways mechanics helps optimize mechanical ventilation support for difficult-to-treat patients. Common problems, such as providing ventilation support for the patient with severe obstruction and COPD or the hypoxemic patient with ARDS, will be addressed. Evidence-based information will be highlighted during case management presentations and discussions.
