❄️ SAVE THE DATE ❄️ The Mayo Clinic Mechanical Ventilation Conference 2026 heads to the mountains! 📍 Snowbird Resort, Utah 🗓️ December 8–11, 2026 #MayoVentilation #CriticalCare #MechanicalVentilation

Thank you @PatriciaRocco15 for your mentorship and collaboration!

VentCoach was feasible in the ICU—no protocol-related adverse events or workflow disruptions. It was non-inferior to standard LPV, with signals for lower mechanical power (lung energy) and possibly less sedation. Next: larger trials. #CriticalCare #MechanicalVentilation #ARDS 💪

Mechanical power guided lung protective ventilation in acute respiratory failure using the #VentCoach approach! nature.com/articles/s4159…

The Monk by the Sea (Caspar David Friedrich) captures the mood: humility, awe, and quiet hope. Feeling thankful for a wonderful year—cheers to a serene and growth-filled 2026.

“Ventilators can deliver breaths, but it’s our job to ensure those breaths are in sync with the patient’s needs—precision, timing, and clinical intuition working together.” — In Sync: Mastering Patient–Ventilator Harmony, #CHEST2025

Getting your vent settings right is science. Keeping the patient in sync is art. 🎨🫁 Don’t miss “In Sync: Mastering Patient–Ventilator Harmony With Advanced Tools” with Drs. Cortes Puentes, Narendra & Vines! 📆 Oct 20 | 3:15 PM | #CHEST2025 #PVA #MechanicalVentilation

How do we ventilate the resting lung? 🫁 Dr. Luigi Camporota walked us through real cases to define optimal ventilation strategies during VV-ECMO — where physiology guides every breath. #MayoVentilation #VVECMO #CriticalCare

Inspiration, innovation, and incredible minds — that’s #MayoVentilation2025. Thank you all for being part of it! See you next year in Snowbird, Utah 🏔️ Dec 8–11, 2026.
