What you get
Change the patient and the settings and watch pressure, flow and volume respond: five modes, patient effort, auto-PEEP, leaks, pneumothorax, blood gases and blood pressure that follow what you set.
Physiology and the machine; starting, monitoring and reading the ventilator; managing, troubleshooting and getting the tube out. Each lesson has a short video, a real-world case and a check question.
Flow starvation, missed efforts, breath stacking, the high-pressure alarm, the 3 am crash, ARDS, asthma, COPD and the breathing trial. You fix it on the simulator, then read the debrief.
See and hear the three moments when patient and ventilator disagree: the trigger, the flow and the cycle.
Quizzes and the tests show the ventilator screen, so you learn to read waveforms and not just recall facts.
