THE APPLIED PHYSIOLOGY OF MECHANICAL VENTILATION

MEDICINE 905
Course Description

Focus on the intersection between the physiology of the respiratory system and the mechanical engineering of ventilators, with particular attention to patient-ventilator interactions. Investigate the important physiologic trade-offs inherent in various strategies of mechanical ventilation. Apply these principles to patients with and without underlying pulmonary disease. Finally, evaluate a landmark study on tidal volume in ARDS, with particular attention to the scientific and ethical controversies that surround the trial. This course involves a modicum of physics and math.
