Waveform Graphics 101
  • Date: May 23, 2025 10:00 AM Eastern
  • Speaker: Maria Madden MS, RRT-ACCS

The integration of ventilator graphics into the machine platforms has opened new vistas into the observation and evaluation of the interface between the patient and the mechanical ventilator. In the past, a pressure manometer and numeric readings gave us a limited view of the patient-ventilator interface. Now ventilator graphics allow us to see, in real-time the full interface between the patient and the ventilator.

Objectives
  1. Recognize the importance of patient-ventilator asynchrony using Waveform Analysis
  2. Will cover the basic concepts in mechanical ventilation concepts and explore the graphics, as seen in volume control ventilation
