Making Sense of the Numbers: Applying Ventilator Monitoring Data to Improve Patient Care
Description:
This interactive, 1-hour live online course helps clinicians transform ventilator data into actionable insights. Participants will learn how to interpret key monitoring values—such as compliance, resistance, and driving pressure—to optimize patient outcomes, identify early warning signs of deterioration, and fine-tune ventilator strategies in real time.
Key Topics:
Understanding essential ventilator parameters and their physiological significance.
Integrating compliance, resistance, and pressure data to guide clinical decisions.
Using ventilator trends and graphics to recognize patient-ventilator interaction and changes in condition.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Interpret key ventilator monitoring parameters to assess patient status.
Analyze trends and data to detect changes in lung mechanics or patient condition.
Apply ventilator data to adjust settings and improve patient outcomes based on evidence-based practice.
