Permissive hypercapnia is a widely adopted strategy in managing acute respiratory failure (ARF). By allowing higher levels of CO₂, it enables low tidal volume ventilation and reduces the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury by limiting airway pressures.

While this approach offers clear benefits for lung protection, it presents significant challenges in patients with right heart dysfunction, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or pregnancy, where the systemic effects of hypercapnia may be poorly tolerated. Clinicians are often required to balance lung-protective strategies with the safety of extrapulmonary organs.

Join us for this focused webinar to explore both the physiological rationale and clinical recommendations for using permissive hypercapnia in complex cases in the intensive care unit.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Apply permissive hypercapnia in patients with right heart failure/ pulmonary hypertension (PHT)
• Recognise key considerations in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Understand adaptations needed for pregnant patients
