I thought it was time we explored the subject of mechanical ventilation again and so I reached out on Twitter and am now joined by Thomas Piraino (@respresource) who is a Clinical Specialist in mechanical ventilation at the Centre of Excellence in Mechanical Ventilation, St. Michael's Hospital.

We start with the basic modes and what is actually happening in those modes. You are going to have to concentrate on this one. Hopefully, this will be a series of podcasts to help us all understand better the process of mechanical ventilation.
