A
presentation demonstrating the process how ventilator waveforms are generated
and how to recognize normal/abnormal situations from given scalars.
The presentation will also include basic understanding of pressure/volume
loops and flow/volume loops. Moreover, commonly encountered abnormal waveforms,
their underlying causes and corrective actions will be discussed.

Recognize
flow/time, pressure/time and volume/time scalars associated with control,
assist, SIMV and SIMV+PSV modes on volume targeted and pressure targeted
ventilation. |
|
Recognize
pressure/volume and flow/volume loops associated with common modes in
mechanical ventilation. |
|
Recognize
most commonly encountered abnormal ventilator waveforms. |
| List the underlying causes and corrective actions in each for the above abnormal tracing. |
