Introduction
Quite a few folks have been asking for baseline ventilator management theory and practice. Many of the resources out there are rather stuffed with complex theory that can lead a practitioner to achieve non-pharmacologic conscious sedation. The following is a collection of two podcasts from Dr Scott Weingarten on this subject that are well done. I like Scott's approach to both mechanical ventilation and bringing the care from upstairs in the ICU into the ER.
I will include a video segment on how use the information presented with the LTV 1000 once I learn how to create video files on my camera.
