Student experience
the class
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.
