With over 700 modes of mechanical ventilation available today, it can be overwhelming to find the best application of technology at the bedside. Focused on goal-directed mechanical ventilation, this discussion covers the taxonomy of mechanical ventilation modes and provides a framework for a rational approach at the bedside. Dr. Zanotti is joined by Dr. Eduardo Mireles-Cabodevila, Director of the Medical Intensive Care Unit and the Simulation and Advanced Skills Center at the Cleveland Clinic. In addition, Dr. Mireles-Cabodevila is the Vice-Chair of the Division of Critical Care Medicine, Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care, within the Integrated Hospital-Care Institute at the Cleveland Clinic.
