It's been 10 years since I've been on the primary team in the ICU. Great course to brush off the cobwebs. Also, clarified concepts that had been taught to me less clearly. Plus, updated me on research and standard of care since my 6 months of training time in ICUs back in the day. Thanks!

Course has profoundly improved my understanding of basic control elements and key strategies for common respiratory PT illnesses. Helpful for ground transportation between facilities. Most notable are Bipap "autopeep" strategy and the COPD "STENT" strategy.

Hi Med cram, I'm a new user. And my interest is in anaesthesia. This video on mechanical ventilation has been explained very well. For someone starting off or as in this current situation it proves most useful. Thank you for sharing this information.
