The Critical Care Practitioner

In this podcast episode I was lucky enough to have a discussion with Ollie Poole who is a respiratory therapist in Canada. 

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 v ideos, so watch this space!

SMACC US programme is now out and it looks fabulous! A great variety of subjects over 3 days. I think the biggest problem will be deciding which lectures to go to. I am hoping to have a chat with Oli Flower in the future to discuss some of their plans.

The History Taking and Clinical Examination course I ran in Walsall went very well in September, and we have now booked another one 23-25th Febraury 2015. If you want to come along and join us then please do.

If you found this teaching about mechanical ventilation useful then let me know? Should we do more or less of this kind of thing. I want to be able to provide useful things to my audience so would be grateful for the feedback.

I have been an advocate of using YouTube for many years now and one of the YouTube resources I have used for a while now is that created by Dr Eric Strong. I love his style and he teaches a lot of subjects which I encounter in critical and emergency care.

People often ask me which book they should read around various subjects and instead of pointing them to books I direct them to YouTube. If you find the right teacher, the visual element and voice over provided by YouTube I believe is a much better way to learn.

There are many more YouTube learning resources:
