About the Course

Traditional lung-protective ventilation is often framed around selecting an appropriate tidal volume based on predicted or ideal body weight, then monitoring for safe airway pressures. This 45-minute course expands that concept by examining why lung protection requires clinicians to look beyond isolated ventilator settings and instead consider the total mechanical energy delivered to the respiratory system over time. Learners review foundational lung-protective concepts and the importance of early ventilator management. The course then introduces Mechanical Power as a framework for integrating tidal volume, pressure, PEEP, respiratory rate, and flow into a broader assessment of the mechanical dose delivered to the lungs.
