In this World Shared Practice Forum Podcast, Dr. Martin Kneyber discusses the implementation of the PALICC-2 guidelines in bedside monitoring and management of pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). He shares insights on how the concepts of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), driving pressure, patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI), and the use of non-invasive ventilation are translated to the bedside management of PARDS.
After listening to this podcast, learners will be able to:
- Explain the concept of driving pressure and its significance in the management of pediatric acute lung injury
- Identify the potential benefits and drawbacks of neuromuscular blockade in pediatric acute lung injury patients
- Describe the concept of non-invasive ventilation in the management of acute respiratory failure in pediatric patients, including its potential benefits, limitations, and challenges in implementation
