In this episode we’re going to focus on breath types in traditional modes of ventilation - PC breaths, VC breaths, and Spontaneous Breaths/PS breaths and then we'll also talk about Mandatory, Assisted, and truly Spontaneous breaths.

This is a longer one, but I'm covering compliance and resistance, the equations, the causes of increased and decreased compliance and Raw, and how to identify the change that is happening. Practice questions are at the end. You'll find interactive practice in the free course Introduction to Mechanical Ventilation at www.myvresp.com

This episode covers high flow systems including air-entrainment masks, large volume air-entrainment nebulizers with aerosol mask, trach mask, face tent, and T-piece. I also talk briefly about oxygen hoods, croup tents, and high flow nasal cannulas and there are practice questions at the end.Find the Ultimate Oxygen Therapy Study Package on www.myvresp.com.

This episode talks about what it means to be low or high flow and how to ensure that a system is in fact, high flow. This includes calculating air entrainment ratios, total flow, and finding minimal flow to ensure you meet the patient's inspiratory demand. I also talk about when to use a high flow system over a low flow one. Find the Ultimate Oxygen Therapy Study Package on www.myvresp.com.

This episode covers different types of nasal cannulas and how to estimate the FiO2. Low flow masks, including simple, non-rebreather, and partial rebreather. I talk about when to use each mask and the hazards that can potentially be associated with them. Find the Ultimate Oxygen Therapy Study Package on www.myvresp.com.
