Ben Fabry, a biophysics professor, discusses automatic tube compensation in modern ventilators. They cover ATC's role in reducing patient breathing effort, comparing it to CPAP, and addressing airway resistance. The podcast explores pressure-controlled ventilation, calculating tracheal pressure, and optimizing tube compensation for patients on breathing trials. They also touch on negative airway pressure risks, using ATC in pressure-targeted modes, and challenges in implementing ATC across different ventilator devices.
