CCP Podcast 024: Mechanical Ventilation...the basics.

This is the second of a series of podcasts with Ollie Poole who was a respiratory therapist in Canada and is now doing his medical training. You can listen to the first episode if you wish... CCP Podcast 018: Mechanical Ventilation....

We go back to some of the basics here, discussing some of the reasons and goals of mechanical ventilation.

I came across Ollies' YouTube site Respiratory Review and was very impressed with his series on mechanical ventilation helping to explain some of the terminology and reasoning behind how we ventilate patients. He breaks down the issues in a logical, well ordered format....so go and listen to them.

Our plan is to have a series of chats about mechanical ventilation based around his YouTube videos, so watch this space!
