Join us on 20 August 2026 for the Session 8 webinar in the WFPICCS Pediatric Respiratory Critical Care Series (PRCCS) as we explore “Beyond Tidal Volume: Driving Pressure and Lung-Protective Ventilation in PICU” and discuss how driving pressure can support safer, more effective mechanical ventilation in critically ill children.
In this engaging session, Expert Speaker, Dr. Anil Sachdev, will explore the evolution of lung-protective ventilation and the emerging role of driving pressure in ventilator-induced lung injury. Guest Faculty, Dr. Anoopindar Bhalla, will add expert insights and practical perspectives to this important discussion.
Key learnings from this webinar are to:
- Understand the evolution of lung-protective ventilation, from the concepts of barotrauma and volutrauma to the emerging role of driving pressure in ventilator-induced lung injury.
- Identify the factors that influence the measurement and interpretation of driving pressure at the bedside, while recognizing its limitations in clinical practice.
- Apply the concept of driving pressure in pediatric mechanical ventilation by integrating current evidence with practical considerations for critically ill children.
