Mechanical ventilation is indeed a lifesaving intervention.  However, it is clear that positive pressure ventilation itself has the potential to cause harm.  Novel approaches to ventilation aim to minimise this risk, and one such strategy is the incorporation of oesophageal pressure monitoring.

Tai Pham is a staff intensivist in Paris and an assistant professor at Paris Saclay university.  He completed a PhD in public health where he focussed on respiratory physiology and mechanical ventilation, and is a member of the executive committees for Lung Safe and Wean Safe studies.

If you’ve worked in ICU for very long, you’ll recognise the scenario where a patient who is weaning from mechanical ventilation goes into pulmonary oedema.  This syndrome is referred to as weaning induced pulmonary oedema, or WIPO.

Dr Rui Shi currently works as an intensivist in the surgical ICU of the First Affiliated Hospital at Sun Yet Sen University in China.

Rui has a strong interest in haemodynamic monitoring in critical care in which she has done a PhD, and she joins Todd to talk about this fascinating clinical problem.
