Although it is a long weekend nationwide, but our department has arranged a conference about the perioperative ventilator setting. Today Aug-14 is the beginning day of the 2-day workshop, the topics started with basic and advance modes of mechanical ventilation. Patient care and monitoring of the patients who require ventilator support, the problems of ventilator-patient dyssynchrony, and special patient groups: neurologic, traumatic chest, transportation, and perioperative ventilator setting and complications.
When it was nearly the end of the day, we discussed about perioperative care by anaesthetists, because we can attenuate perioperative respiratory complications by using the lower oxygen concentration during the induction time, we can use FiO2 of 0.8 instead of 100% oxygen. We talked about within the next five years ventilator setting in the OR would catch up the ITU/ICU, actually, there are papers about ASV (adaptive support ventilation) using in the OR, and recent paper was published in European J of Anaesthesiology about this mode in 2009.
We will pose some photo of the workshop, as well as some slides later on, don't forget to update and tune in.
