Tuesday Edition
Every Tuesday: where the ICU team converges on the ventilator.
Mechanical ventilation is where the entire ICU team converges — respiratory therapists, intensivists, nurses, and APPs all touching the same patient through the same machine. Every Tuesday, ICCN publishes a bedside-actionable summary on ARDS, modes, settings, waveforms, and the trials that should change what you set at the start of every shift.

Direct Versus Indirect ARDS, and Why a Real Biological Difference Has Not Yet Earned a Different Ventilator Strategy
Read on Substack →A Note from the Founder
ARDS mortality has not meaningfully improved in two decades. The team that understands lung mechanics, driving pressure, and the dialogue between ventilator and physiology is the team that moves the curve. Tuesdays are about that team.
