Mechanical ventilation is a large part of supporting life for the sickest of patients and it is essential for Respiratory Therapists to understand the theory and practice for safe application of this therapy. This course will take students from basic physical principles of pressure and flow to working with basic modes of ventilation and their application for critical care of the patient. The laboratory portion, which will provide hands on experience with modern critical care ventilators will allow students to put the principles they learn into practice in simulated clinical situations.
