Replay - Esophageal Pressure Monitoring in the ICU: Usefulness and Application

Esophageal pressure monitoring (EPM) is a minimally invasive technique for estimating transpulmonary pressure (3). Transpulmonary pressure is a measure of lung stress (1).

In this webinar, Ewan Goligher M.D., PhD, FRCPC will discuss:

- The theory behind esophageal and transpulmonary pressure monitoring

- How to perform EPM in the ICU and the application of transpulmonary pressure monitoring for ventilated patients
