By Omar Alibrahim, MD, FAAP , Medical Director, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Duke University Medical Center/Duke Children’s Hospital

Objectives (Educational Content) :

1. Describe the history of mechanical ventilation. 2. Demonstrate the physiological principles of spontaneous breathing and negative pressure ventilation. 3. Illustrate the current clinical and potential future application of Negative pressure ventilation.

Target Audience:

General pediatricians, family physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, psychologists, and nurses.

Identified Gap:

Noninvasive mechanical ventilation has become the mainstay of respiratory support in Pediatric Intensive Care over the past 25 years leading to a significant decrease in the use of invasive mechanical ventilation. Negative pressure ventilation is a modality that is making a comeback in both adult and pediatric care. It is important for pediatricians to keep pace with this rapidly evolving field.
