In this episode of the Ventilator Podcast, we discuss different modes of ventilation, including AC (Assisted Controlled), AC Pressure, and SIMV (Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation). We explain the key features and settings of each mode and provide insights on how to manage patients in these modes. We also emphasize the importance of understanding the patient's physiological condition and setting goals for ventilation during transport. We share their personal preferences for pressure control ventilation and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each mode.
In this conversation, we are discussing different modes of ventilation, including pressure-triggered vent, CPAP, BiLevel, and non-invasive ventilation. We emphasize the importance of understanding the settings and parameters of each mode and tailoring them to the patient's needs. We also highlight the need for proper coaching and communication with the patient during non-invasive ventilation. We as always, stress the importance of knowing the equipment and the patient's condition to ensure safe and effective ventilation.

In this episode, we provide an overview of the Zoll EMV+ and Zoll Z-Vent ventilators. We discuss the different modes and preset settings of the ventilators, as well as important considerations such as tubing compliance, leak compensation, and rise time. We emphasize the importance of knowing the equipment and understanding the patient's lung physiology to ensure patient safety and comfort. We also encourage listeners to ask questions and provide feedback for future episodes.

We're back! In this episode, we discuss ventilator modes, specifically focusing on pressure regulated volume control (PRVC). We explain the basics of PRVC and how it differs from other modes. We also discuss the challenges of classifying ventilator modes and the importance of understanding the patient's needs and disease process when selecting a mode. We provide strategies for managing air hungry patients and offer tips for adjusting settings on different ventilator models. We also want to emphasize the need for individualized care and monitoring of patient response.

In this episode, we reflect on our podcast journey over the last year and the global reach of our show. We discuss the importance of training and knowledge in using ventilators effectively. We recap the basic ventilator settings and emphasize the need to monitor and meet the patient's needs as well. We engage in a slight debate about SIMV vs. AC mode and discuss the increasing use of non-invasive ventilation in transports. We also highlight the new definitions in ARDS classification and express our commitment to research and evidence-based practice. We want to conclude this episode by encouraging listeners to engage with them and stay updated on their future episodes.

Summary – Part 1 & Part 2
In this episode, we would like to introduce Jesse Carroll, the EMS accounts manager for Hamilton Medical. We discuss ASV (Adaptive Support Ventilation) on the Hamilton T1 ventilator and address misconceptions and myths about the mode. We want to highlight the benefits of ASV in reducing cognitive load for clinicians and promoting lung protective strategies. The limitations and contraindications of ASV are also discussed. This conversation explores the training methods and approaches for ventilator management. The discussion emphasizes the importance of waveform management and understanding pressure, flow, and volume. The dynamic lung graphic is introduced as a valuable tool for identifying disease processes. The conversation highlights the significance of practical training and the use of the dynamic lung in both ASV and conventional ventilation modes. The importance of time on target and the challenges of implementing complex formulas like the Otis and Meads equations are discussed. The conversation concludes with a focus on reducing cognitive load and engaging learners with practical applications.
These episodes (Part 1 & 2) conclude with a focus on educating and building trust in ASV.
