Mechanical Ventilation: From Reading Waveforms to AI and Detection Algorithms

Respiratory Exchange

Eduardo Mireles, MD, director of the Medical Intensive Care Unit and vice-chair of the Department of Critical Care Medicine at Cleveland Clinic, discusses the current gap between ventilator technology, with its multiple options, and the education needed for providers who monitor patients. He reviews the course he developed to address this gap, the Standardized Education on Ventilatory Assistance (SEVA), as well as where AI and the detection algorithms used in mechanical ventilation will take healthcare in the future.
