    Mechanical Vent - Breath Types

    In this episode we’re going to focus on breath types in traditional modes of ventilation - PC breaths, VC breaths, and Spontaneous Breaths/PS breaths and then we'll also talk about Mandatory, Assisted, and truly Spontaneous breaths. We're going to cover these breaths in relation to triggers, limiting, and cycling mechanisms but if you want more in-depth coverage of what these things are, check out the YouTube links below: Triggering Mechanisms Limiting Mechanisms Cycling Mechanisms For more interactive information and practice, go www.myresp.com where you'll find a Mechanical Ventilation Study Course. You can also find VRESP on Facebook and Instagram and RT Study Hall is also a study group on Facebook.

    High vs Low Flow Oxygen

    This episode talks about what it means to be low or high flow and how to ensure that a system is in fact, high flow. This includes calculating air entrainment ratios, total flow, and finding minimal flow to ensure you meet the patient's inspiratory demand. I also talk about when to use a high flow system over a low flow one. Find the Ultimate Oxygen Therapy Study Package on www.myvresp.com.
