Community Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) & Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) in Critical Care

Описание: Yashoda Hospitals Hyderabad invites you to a scientific webinar on Community Acquired Pneumonia CAP and Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome ARDS, life-threatening respiratory conditions that require early recognition, precise diagnosis, and protocol-driven intensive care management.

This evidence-based academic session explores severity assessment, ventilatory strategies, infection management, bedside ultrasound applications, and advanced life support decisions that can significantly improve outcomes in patients with severe respiratory failure.

What You Will Learn

✔ CAP overview: Recognizing severe pneumonia and identifying early clinical deterioration
✔ Sepsis screening: Applying qSOFA and CURB 65 for rapid risk stratification
✔ Global ARDS definition: Understanding updated diagnostic criteria and oxygenation thresholds
✔ Imaging and diagnostic:s Using chest imaging, lung ultrasound, and bronchoscopy for confirmation
✔ Ventilator strategies: Lung protective ventilation, plateau pressure control, and driving pressure targets
✔ Prone ventilation: Improving oxygenation through effective lung recruitment
✔ Antibiotic approach: Evidence-guided empiric therapy aligned with ATS and Indian guidelines
✔ Steroid use: Evaluating benefits in severe CAP and ARDS
✔ Neuromuscular blockade: Enhancing ventilator synchrony in critical patients
✔ POCUS integration: Assessing lung aeration, recruitability, and treatment response at the bedside
✔ ECMO considerations: Identifying reversible disease and selecting appropriate candidates
✔ Therapy optimization, De-escalation, and duration of antibiotics after pathogen identification

How This Adds Value

✓ Strengthens early detection of severe respiratory infections
✓ Enhances evidence-based ventilator management
✓ Supports rational antibiotic stewardship
✓ Promotes real-time clinical assessment using bedside ultrasound
✓ Guides timely escalation to advanced life support
✓ Improves structured decision-making in intensive care
