About
Dr. Jordan Rettig discussed cardiopulmonary interactions with a focus on positive pressure ventilation compared to spontaneous breathing. He highlighted how positive pressure affects preload, afterload, and contractility in the context of cardiac pump function. The talk delved into the dynamics of cardiac performance, emphasizing the importance of understanding the relationships between various factors like preload, afterload, and contractility in maintaining cardiac output. The lecture also touched on the potential implications of positive pressure ventilation on right and left ventricular function, and the considerations for patients with conditions like obstructive lung disease and neuromuscular disorders. The presentation concluded with a brief overview of negative pressure ventilation and its potential effects on cardiopulmonary interactions, highlighting the importance of balancing preload and afterload considerations in patient care.Tags
