Just Breathe: Mechanical Ventilation WebinarPLUS NurseEd

Join Melissa Shoard for an in-depth exploration of mechanical ventilation in veterinary medicine, where we will cover essential topics such as pulmonary anatomy, lung volumes, and the mechanics of gas movement. This lecture will delve into the intricacies of the breath cycle, diffusion across the blood-gas membrane, and ventilation-perfusion relationships. Melissa will also discuss respiratory failure, assessing respiratory failure and dyspnea, and the indications for intubation and mechanical ventilation. Participants will gain valuable insights into preparing for mechanical ventilation, understanding ventilator controls and modes, and managing patient-ventilator desynchrony. The lecture will highlight the importance of nursing care for mechanically ventilated patients and the challenges in weaning from mechanical ventilation.
