Join us on 19 November 2026 for Session 11 of the WFPICCS Pediatric Respiratory Critical Care Series (PRCCS) as we explore “The Hidden Cost of Ventilation – Ventilator-Induced Lung Injury in Children” and discuss strategies to minimize ventilator-associated lung injury while optimizing respiratory support in critically ill children.
In this engaging session, our Expert Speaker, Dr. Judith Wong Ju Ming, will explore the mechanisms and clinical implications of ventilator-induced lung injury, highlighting approaches to lung-protective ventilation in pediatric patients.
Our Guest Faculty, Dr. Martin Knedyber, will share expert insights and practical perspectives on this important topic, supporting safer and more effective ventilation strategies in pediatric critical care.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
1. Understand the mechanisms and pathophysiology of ventilator-induced lung injury.
2. Recognize the role of volutrauma, barotrauma, atelectrauma and biotrauma in lung injury.
3. Identify the key ventilator parameters that contribute to VILI in children
4. Apply lung-protective ventilation strategies in children including PALICC-2.
5. Distinguish the emerging concepts of VILI from actionable targets
