The big impact of lung protective ventilation

Get a deeper understanding of how to fit every patient’s lung ventilation needs. How can you effectively ventilate neonatal, paediatric or adult patient's lungs while protecting them at the same time? This continues to pose a major challenge in clinical settings.
