Martin Kneyber

Dr. Martin Kneyber discusses the physiologic rationale for HFOV, patient populations benefiting from it, evidence supporting its use, expert patient management, and future research. Topics include mean airway pressure, chest movement in HFOV, corner frequency's impact on ventilation, optimizing strategies for oxygenation, and CO2 monitoring in critically ill children.

Dr. Martin Kneyber, a pediatric critical care specialist, discusses high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) in pediatric critical care. Topics include physiologic rationale, patient populations, key evidence, expert approach in managing HFOV, and future research directions. The podcast explores HFOV benefits, challenges, efficacy, and setting PEEP levels for optimal outcomes.

Dr. Martin Kneyber, Chief of Pediatric Critical Care at Beatrix Children's Hospital, dives into the bedside implementation of the PALICC-2 guidelines for pediatric acute respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS). He explains the pivotal role of Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) and driving pressure in mechanical ventilation. The discussion includes the complexities of neuromuscular blockade and patient self-inflicted lung injury (P-SILI). Additionally, Kneyber highlights the importance of non-invasive ventilation and the critical need for comprehensive staff training in pediatric care.
