P/V Tool® Pro. Training resources

One of the greatest challenges when mechanically ventilating patients is finding the correct setting for positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP). This task can be made easier by using transpulmonary pressure measurement to distinguish between the pressure in the lungs and the chest wall components.

The percentage of potentially recruitable lung varies widely among ARDS patients.

Is the potential for recruitment in patients with mixed lung diseases (e.g., ARDS and COPD) less than in patients with ARDS only?

Does the Hamilton Medical P/V Tool provide a real low-flow pressure/volume (P/V) loop?
