Assessment of Pulmonary Mechanics by Measuring Transpulmonary Pressure

Course: #1785Level: Advanced 1 Hour 61 Reviews
Video

Using airway pressure measurements to assess potential lung injury is limited because it represents stress applied to both the lung and chest wall. This lecture describes the technique of measuring esophageal pressure to isolate lung stress, and uses a clinical scenario to demonstrate how this helps setting the ventilator in severe ARDS.
