Pulmonology and Critical Care

Advances in Mechanical Ventilation and Respiratory Support

Modern advancements in mechanical ventilation have significantly transformed the care of patients with respiratory failure. This session explores the latest developments in invasive and non-invasive ventilation strategies, including modes like adaptive support ventilation (ASV) and neurally adjusted ventilatory assist (NAVA). Emphasis will be placed on lung-protective ventilation, high-flow nasal oxygen therapy, and the role of personalized ventilation approaches tailored to specific patient conditions. The integration of AI in ventilator settings and monitoring is also highlighted, showing how data-driven solutions enhance clinical decision-making. Experts will discuss weaning protocols, sedation strategies, and complications associated with prolonged ventilation. Attendees will gain insights into optimizing ventilation to reduce ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) and improve patient outcomes across critical care settings.
