Deskripsi
This case shows the use of ultrasound guidance to optimize non-invasive mechanical ventilation for a 62-year-old patient with a complex medical history. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) was used to assess diaphragmatic function and hemodynamics, leading to adjustments in ventilator setting. The approach improved gas exchange, resolved respiratory acidosis, and enhanced hemodynamics, providing a promising strategy for ventilator management in complex clinical cases.
