Using Neonatal Airway Graphics to Optimize Care in Neonatal Patients

Airway graphical waveform analysis is one form of monitoring that can provide real-time assessment on underlying pathophysiologic changes in mechanical ventilated patients. Improvements in flow sensor design and ventilator technology now allow clinicians to accurately monitor graphics at the airway in neonatal patients. This interactive discussion will focus on airway graphics monitoring in the neonatal intensive care unit setting using novel modes of ventilation and different disease types.

Great presentation! I think this highlights the importance of the people who are at the bedside the most(I.e. RTs and RNs) really becoming the experts in this domain, and then be given the authority to drive decision, making in a moment to moment manner, to optimize mechanical ventilation. As well as be given appropriate workloads and time to continually optimize it. Finally, the communication process being designed to allow the passing on of the problem solving processes that have been completed- both successes, and failures, shift to shift and clinician to clinician. This will allow the collective experience and knowledge of the care team to grow rapidly, and ultimately translate to better patient outcomes.
