In this laboratory course, students will demonstrate the clinical concepts and applications to specific ventilator modes as well as ventilator types, used in the Southwest Florida Clinical affiliates. The continued development of the application of the various modes of mechanical ventilation and their graphical analysis and ventilator synchrony are key concepts for the learner. The physiological and realistic formats for mechanical ventilation will be consistently contrasted throughout the course. This course provides a strong basis for student success on the Respiratory Care credentialing examination.
