Mechanical Ventilation, while not a primary treatment application for disease states, is an extremely valuable respiratory support system. Every Pediatrician, who is confronted with critically ill children, needs to be familiar with the basics of intubation, bag mask ventilation, and the principles of stabilisation and transfer of a child.
With a growing number of independent Intensive Care Units in the country, the basic tools, language and culture of “ventilation” has become rather widespread. Now there is a keen desire to move forward and fine-tune old skills and learn new ones.
This workshop is designed with just that in mind.
The importance of using noninvasive ventilation, wherever feasible, will be emphasised. This is actually seen as a step up rather than a step down in the intensivists’ skill in ventilation technique. High frequency still exists in the armamentarium of the intensivist as a rescue measure, where advanced ventilation techniques are considered and shall be covered.
Besides this, a number of advanced modes of ventilation have also come in with the sole purpose of making the ventilation gentle and avoid asynchrony. The use of ventilatory graphics has also put us in a better position to understand the physiology and mechanics of patient ventilator interactions in the diseased lung.
This manual is intended for intensivists and pediatricians, who wish to delve into details. Special focus has been kept on ventilatory graphics, high frequency ventilation as well as noninvasive ventilation.
