Optimising Ventilation Through Positioning
Presented by Dr Mikuláš Mlček, Ph.D. and Dr Michal Otáhal, Ph.D. (First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University, Czech Republic)
This interactive session explores how patient positioning directly influences lung mechanics, ventilation distribution, and ventilator-induced lung injury. Using real-time monitoring and live demonstration, presenters will show how targeted lateral positioning, combined with ventilation adjustment, can reduce overdistension and atelectasis. Walk away with practical, physiology-driven strategies for personalised lung optimisation at the bedside.
About the Presenters
