75. Airway Pressure Release Ventilation Controversies with Dr Rory Spiegel and DR Max Hockstein

On this week’s episode, Cyrus and Nick host a spirited discussion with Drs. Rory Spiegel and Max Hockstein where we debate the merits of Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV). What's the rationale for this? When is it appropriate? IS it appropriate… or is it witchcraft? Is it physiologically foolish or a perfectly logical option for hypoxemic respiratory failure? Good for all comer, good for a subset or does it belong with the vials of succinylcholine and DL blades? We may not have all the answers but on this episode we do our best to explore this ventilator mode and help you decide whether the juice is worth the squeeze! Check us out and let us know YOUR feelings while leaving us a review!
