Understanding the Importance of Stress Index in ARDS

In this informative video, we dive deep into the topic of stress index and its importance in managing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. We will discuss how the stress index is calculated, what it means, and how it can be used to optimize mechanical ventilation for ARDS patients. By the end of this video, you will have a thorough understanding of the significance of stress index and how it can impact the management of ARDS. This video is perfect for critical care clinicians who are looking to enhance their knowledge and skills in managing ARDS patients.

Hello Sir, Your lectures are absolutely fantastic. Your explanation is very clear and understandable. I really miss your video on Adaptive support ventilation.

[@ICUREACH]

Thank you for your feedback, there are many other videos on www.icureach.com including ASV, but it is also available on KZbin at kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaSbk3uKpZKHiKc

@@ICUREACH thank you very much sir i could find the videos when i scrolled down. I am sorry to have bothered you.

I'm sorry, do you mean compliance, rather than elastance? Elastance is the inverse of compliance.

[@ICUREACH]

It is the same whether you use compliance or elastance, as you mentioned compliance is the reverse of elastance or it is volume divided by pressure. Whereas elastance is pressure divided by volume. The idea is on the PV curve, the most compliant area (or the lowest elastance) is the middle part of the curve.
