What if the biggest mistake you’re making with your COPD vent patients isn’t in what you’re doing—but in how fast you’re doing it?
In this episode, Eric Bauer takes us deep into the nuances of ventilating a COPD patient in acute respiratory failure. Through a complex case breakdown, Eric challenges conventional thinking around rate, tidal volume, and ventilator pressures, offering critical insights into the obstructive approach.
You’ll hear the step-by-step evolution of ventilator management from a real-world interfacility transfer of a hypercapnic, non-compliant COPD patient. Discover why high respiratory rates can be catastrophic, how static compliance and RCexp should influence your strategy, and what “minute ventilation” really means in obstructive physiology.
This is more than a case review—it's a clinical recalibration.
