AMY STEVENSON, RN
as someone who had little to no experience with mechanical ventilation, I thought this video did a wonderful job explaining the basics and into the more common reasons for ventilation.
ROBERT VAKILI (Nursing Student)
Concise and clear explanation of physiology and anatomy of thorax; fundamental of ventilators settings. Practical guide for COPD and ARDS ventilator settings. The course also encompasses side effects of mechanical ventilation on patients with pre-existing cardiovascular complications. The quiz to enhance learning and self assessment at the end of each part was helpful too. I am glad I refreshed my knowledge about mechanical ventilation in less than a day without any confusion or controversy. Thank you Robert RN Sydney Australia
