This clinical guide will show you how to start your patients on mechanical ventilation, optimize the settings once they’re on it, and wean them when it’s no longer necessary. Many clinicians are nervous to adjust ventilators, but it’s really not that complicated with the right training. Whether you’re new to ventilation or want to brush up your skills in fine-tuning the ventilator, you’ll discover clinical pearls to help your patients to survive, recover, and thrive.
