Phenomenal course. Not only did I learn a lot - but what's more is that I truly UNDERSTAND. This promotes confidence and makes me feel like I can manage a vent patient properly.

JASON TAYLOR

Great course. Very well explained with good supporting diagrams. Well done and thank you

CHERYL KRAFT, RN

Very interesting. I did feel that the lecture info was really good. However, not quite so easy to apply this knowledge well enough to pass the quiz successfully. The first part of the lecture had too much information before the quiz. I liked the remaining lectures & could appreciate the rest of the lectures that had short info then short quiz after.

STEVEN FELDSTEIN, MD

I have been out of the ICU for a while. This was incredibly useful as a refresher course for me, and as an anesthesiologist, also has implications in my daily management of patients. Thanks so much

MOHAMMED SAID HERIZA , MD

Being a doctor on front-line and a surgeon, I always feel that this subject is difficult to be simplified and out of my area of expertise. But this course showed me that I was wrong. The course was simple, informative, interactive and up to the point. Again thank you for sharing this great materials and looking forward for more.

I found this course quit simple and understandable to even those who haven't ventilated any patients yet. I have an experience of 20 years in ICU and still I learnt a lot of newer things and ofcourse revising those which got forgotten in time frame. Thanks

JACQUES LAUZON, RN

A brilliant review of the fundamentals of caring for a patient on a ventilator. It really helps me to understand the principles involved. Thanks so much!
