Welcome to World Shared Practice Forum.
I'm Dr. Jeff Burns, chief of critical care at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School.
We're very pleased to have with us today Dr. Ira Cheifetz.
Dr. Cheifetz is the chief of critical care and chief medical officer at the Duke Children's Hospital in Durham, North Carolina.
He is also professor of pediatrics and anesthesia at the Duke University School of Medicine in Durham, North Carolina.
Ira, welcome.
Thank you, Jeff.
Pleasure to be here.
Ira, for many decades, you've written extensively on respiratory modalities in the pediatric intensive care unit.
And indeed, you've lectured widely around the world on this topic.
And in particular, you've brought great insight on the use of capnography in that environment.
As we begin this discussion, what should we know about capnography?
So, thank you, Jeff.
Before we get into capnography, what I would really like to do is kind of take a step back, and just think about ventilation-perfusion relationships on a much more larger scale.
