Assessing Mechanical Ventilation

This tutorial takes you through assessing the patient who is receiving mechanical ventilation (MV) in the ICU. It is very much a "crash course" and you can learn a lot more about MV by viewing my other tutorials. Nevertheless, I believe that I have, in 40 minutes, covered sufficient ground to help you manage a mechanically ventilated patient overnight.
