About the Course

This 1-hour live online course explores the expiratory time constant as a practical framework for managing mechanically ventilated patients with obstructive physiology.  Participants will learn how resistance and compliance determine expiratory time requirements, recognize waveform patterns of incomplete exhalation and auto-PEEP, and apply time constant principles to adjust ventilator settings. Through clinically grounded examples—including severe asthma and COPD—this session bridges respiratory physiology and bedside ventilator management to reduce dynamic hyperinflation and improve patient safety.
