Things to think about

  • Interpretation of ABGs - beyond the basics

  • Why do we ventilate? Is this different to oxygenation?

  • Modes of ventilation - non-invasive and invasive

  • How do we know if a mode of ventilation "works"?

  • How could we set PEEP? What is the "best" way, and what is the "best" PEEP?

  • Recruitment - what, why, how, and should we?

Resources

ABG interpretation:

  • (LITFL)

  • (Dr Gardiner) - be warned, this is quite advanced!

Ventilation:

  • Ventilation e-learning - and modules (e-LfH)

  • , and lectures (Dr Howatson)

  • Dr Swindin, Sampson, and Howatson's (BJAEd)

  • and for NIV lectures (Dr Bonnington, see also week 5)

  • ICULearning's - play with the settings without breaking a real patient

  • - a bit American, but explains the terminology

Key trials and guidelines

· - HFNC vs NIV for hypoxaemic ("type 1") respiratory failure

· - HFNC vs normal oxygen in immunocompromised patients

· , , , , and - oxygen targets in the critically ill (and )

· BTS/ICS guidelines for management of ("type 2")

· - should we be performing recruitment manoeuvres?

· - is ventilation different in the obese patient?
