Hours, even days, could be spent on the subject of ventilator technology and all of its challenges, innovations, and nuances.  This episode we sit down with three industry experts to discuss the complications associated with ventilator technology innovations outpacing the standards needed for them.  The tremendous movement of ventilator technology in the last decade coupled with the void of a universal vocabulary has resulted in the absence of standardized modes and nomenclature essential to medical device communication.  This lack of standardization rattles practitioners; ability to transition from one ventilator to another, interrupts workflow, and can potentially impact patient safety and outcomes.  Listen to learn more about efforts being made to change the current landscape and unify ventilator technology.
