Thank you for providing this information in such a clear and concise manner. I am an ED nurse and have taken care of a good number of intubated patients, but have always relied heavily on my RTT coworkers for handling the vent. With COVID 19 crisis looming though, I could easily see our single RT not being able to do everything by themself, and feel much more confident now in knowing what to look for and things I might suggest trying.

Brilliant! This course has helped me tremendously. I did my ALS paramedic course back in 2005 and since then I have had minimal time using a vent. This course has been very helpful as a refresher in my skills. Thank you!
