What will I learn?
Gain a practical guide to confidently manage ventilated patients. Master key ventilator modes, safe pressures, tidal volumes based on predicted body weight, FiO2 and PEEP choices, waveform reading, and ARDS protocols. Develop expertise in ABG adjustments, handling asynchrony, daily checks, infection control, and assessing weaning readiness in an efficient format.

Develop skills
- Set lung-protective ventilator settings using safe tidal volume, PEEP, and FiO2.
- Interpret ventilator waveforms to spot asynchrony, auto-PEEP, and barotrauma early.
- Adjust ventilation based on ABGs by tuning RR, tidal volume, and permissive hypercapnia.
- Conduct daily ventilator safety checks to secure airway, prevent VAE, and document care.
- Evaluate weaning readiness with SBTs and decide on timely ventilator liberation.
