The Hidden Risks of Life-Saving Ventilation

Wednesday May 28, 2025 at 11AM PDT via ZOOM

Mechanical ventilation saves lives every day — but it can also cause serious harm. From the lungs to the brain and kidneys, prolonged or improper ventilation may lead to long-term complications or even organ failure.

In this FREE 1-hour webinar, Dr. Elizabeth Rohrs, an expert in respiratory therapy and TB Vets Professorship holder at Simon Fraser University, will reveal the latest research and life-saving innovations that aim to make ventilation safer for all.

You’ll learn:

  • How mechanical ventilation affects multiple organs

  • The hidden risks of standard ventilator use

  • Emerging technologies and strategies that protect the lungs, diaphragm, and kidneys

  • How artificial intelligence, biomarkers, and new ventilator modes are improving outcomes

Whether you’re a healthcare professional, student, or simply curious, this webinar offers an accessible and eye-opening look into the future of critical care.

🗓 Date Wednesday, May 28

🕚 Time: 11:00 AM Pacific Time

💻 Location: Online (Zoom – free registration required)
