Mechanical ventilation is a treatment where a machine is used to assist a patient in breathing, when they are unable to effectively breathe on their own. This module provides knowledge in understanding the different modes of mechanical ventilation, how to identify the appropriate ventilation type to use, and the detailed steps of how to perform mechanical ventilation. Including both Learn and Test modes, the online simulator will test your ability to perform a mechanical ventilation procedure. Practice the steps of the procedure as often as you want until you are confident.
