Pediatric Waveforms - Communicating with Kids on Ventilators
Presented by Katie Sabato, this is an intermediate level course presentation on neonatal pediatric mechanical ventilation waveform analysis. The author assumes the audience is versed in certain types of mechanical ventilation modes including volume, pressure control, pressure support ventilation and the volume pressure hybrid modes. The presentation engages the audience thru use of real life waveform graphics and the typical patient response associated with the waveform pattern. The presenter uses her own unique “style” that educates through drawing the participant into associating graphics as a communication tool for infants on mechanical ventilators. Clinical case are utilized to reinforce learning concepts.
