In this episode of our Critical Care Series, we break down the fundamentals of mechanical ventilation with a practical, physiology-based approach designed for the bedside.

Join us for a high-yield, clinically focused discussion covering ventilator modes, how ventilator breaths work (trigger, limit, and cycle), and how to interpret pressures and waveforms in the ICU.

Whether you're an internal medicine resident, pulmonary fellow, or critical care learner, this episode will help you build a framework to understand and troubleshoot ventilators with confidence.
