Session 10 of the WFPICCS Pediatric Respiratory Critical Care Series (PRCCS) took place on 15 October 2026. Don’t miss out on this engaging learning opportunity, where we explore “Ventilating Children in Restrictive and Obstructive Lung Conditions” and discuss practical approaches to mechanical ventilation in children with differing respiratory mechanics.
In this engaging session, our Expert Speaker, Dr. Sajith Kesavan, explores how restrictive and obstructive lung conditions influence ventilator management, with a focus on selecting appropriate, patient-specific ventilation strategies.
Our Guest Speaker, Dr. Alberto Medina, addd expert insights and practical perspectives to this important discussion.
Key learning objectives for participants include to:
- Differentiate between restrictive and obstructive lung conditions in children;
- Understand how lung mechanics influence ventilator settings;
- Choose the appropriate ventilation strategies for restrictive and obstructive lung diseases;
- Recognize and manage common ventilator-related complications; and
- Optimize ventilation while minimizing ventilator-induced lung injury.
