LEARNING OBJECTIVES

What You’ll Learn

  • Calculate illustrative minute and alveolar ventilation while distinguishing them from patient prescriptions.
  • Explain how rate, resistance, compliance and expiratory time affect ventilation and circulation.
  • Assess and improve manual gas delivery through a patent airway and effective interface.
  • Recognize mismatches between selected and delivered mechanical support and respond to alarms and transitions.
  • Integrate ventilation trends, clinical context and escalation into a clear patient-specific handoff.
