In this course, the student will learn the advanced theory and application of techniques for artificial mechanical ventilation, as well as ancillary forms of patient monitoring. 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.
