Learning Mechanical Ventilation
Mechanical Ventilation. In this course, we will explore the fundamental principles of mechanical ventilation, including the anatomy of the respiratory system, the mechanics of breathing, and the physiological effects of mechanical ventilation on the body. Understanding these concepts is crucial for any healthcare professional working with ventilated patients. We will begin by reviewing the basic anatomy of the lungs and airways, discussing how air is exchanged in the alveoli and the role of surfactant in maintaining lung function. Next, we will delve into the mechanics of breathing, including the concepts of tidal volume, minute ventilation, and vital capacity. Once we have a solid grasp of these fundamentals, we will transition to the different methods of mechanical ventilation. Each method has its unique indications and contraindications, and understanding when to use which mode is key to providing optimal patient care.
