You know I love my ventilator... see the photo for how I reacted when we got the new Mindray Veta 5 in-house! But when using a ventilator in anesthesia, what do those modes even mean? Volume control, Pressure control, PEEP...it can get a bit confusing, so we have Glynis here to make sense of it all. Today we talk to Glynis Wileman.
She has a PhD - AG Med, while she did not stay in that field, she has worked clinically for 13 years in STARS - specializing in Infant transport/ ECMO, and ventilation / Surfactant studies under Dr. Neil Finer, at RAH. Then onto Siemens/Draeger for Product development in Anesthesia / Ventilation platforms. She is a wealth of information when it comes to anesthesia and ventilation.
