In this episode we will introduce you to the basic concepts of mechanical ventilation and discuss the basic vent modes. Learning Objectives: - Explain the four parameters of mechanical ventilation - Understand how to read the ventilation monitor curves (i.e. flow, pressure, volume) - Explain peak / plateau pressure, and discuss the pathology associated with these - Know the difference between Volume control and Pressure control - State the pros and cons to Assist Control and SIMV - Explain how Pressure Support Works - List the parameters and criteria for extubation --- Show Notes: https://tinyurl.com/y62jcbte --- Useful Links: Medcram: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=gk_Qf-JAL84&ab_channel=MedCram-MedicalLecturesExplainedCLEARLY Ventilator Teaching Module - Dr. Manoj Dalmia: https://anesthesia.bidmc.harvard.edu/ADEL/documents/Education/Education/Ventilator%20Lecture.pdf Ventilator Pock Guide: https://anesthesia.ucsf.edu/sites/anesthesia.ucsf.edu/files/wysiwyg/Ventilator_Pocket_Guide_2020.pdf Dr. Rishi Kumar (Critical Care / Cardiothoracic Anesthesiologist): https://rk.md/ --- Website: https://superhighyieldanesthesia.wordpress.com/ Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Super-High-Yield-Anesthesia-Podcast-100627875164137 ---  Inspirational Corporate by MaxKoMusic | https://maxkomusic.com/Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_USSound effects from https://www.free-stock-music.com
