This was a great refresher - Thank you for making this program available and free. As we social distance many of our usual teaching options are limited. I am finding with the COVID-19 crisis there is a need to revisit the core principles of respiratory management not only of acute respiratory failure but also management of people with complex chronic respiratory and cardiovascular conditions.
