OBJECTIVES:

1. Ventilation management; appropriate decisions and strategies, which will
   optimize effective alveolar oxygenation and ventilation of the pediatric patient.
2. Application of the HFOV Algorithm in the pediatric patient (>35Kg ABW).
3. Participants will examine how to best maintain a lung protective strategy, through
   combinations of alveolar recruitment, mean airway pressure, pressure amplitude,
   and frequency, while balancing the benefits and risks of lung recruitment.
4. Identify genetic influences on response to therapy for asthma.
5. How to determine when a change in strategy of HFOV is appropriate
   for maximum benefit of patient care.
6. Define alternative methods for managing the pediatric patient on
   the Sensor Medics 3100-B.
