Weaning induced pulmonary oedema (WIPO)

If you’ve worked in ICU for very long, you’ll recognise the scenario where a patient who is weaning from mechanical ventilation goes into pulmonary oedema. This syndrome is referred to as weaning induced pulmonary oedema, or WIPO.

Dr Rui Shi currently works as an intensivist in the surgical ICU of the First Affiliated Hospital at Sun Yet Sen University in China.

Rui has a strong interest in haemodynamic monitoring in critical care in which she has done a PhD, and she joins Todd to talk about this fascinating clinical problem.
