LAURA WAIT, RN
I am a registered ER nurse and work closely w/ RT and pulmonologists like yourself. This course has helped me better understand the reasons for the ventilator settings. Thank you
DAVID STADILLE
I got so much out of this course. Dr. Seheult is a great communicator and you just *know* you're listening to a seasoned professional. Thanks also to Medcram for reconfiguring the lectures and making them available as a set, during this critical time.
PETER CHERNIOGLO

JANELLE THOMPSON (Nursing Student)
Awesome- thank you xxxxx
JASON RUBIN, MD
Great course. Thank you! Could you please create an outpatient protocol for moderate but stable COVID-19 patients (with oxygen requirements) to use at home-- thereby freeing up hospital beds and ventilators for the sickest patients? Maybe some combination of home O2, home CPAP/BIPAP, and a pulse oximetry monitor so patients and caregivers know when outpatient treatment is failing. Obviously not ideal for normal circumstances, but could be hugely helpful during the peak of the epidemic.
RUTH HILL, RN
I found this very easy to follow and very informative. I am an RN that is trying to educate myself and other RNs. It was great to see how all the videos built on each other and how up-to-date the information is.
