Basic Vent Modes MADE EASY - Ventilator Settings Reviewed

Alright, in this lesson we take a look at our basic vent modes that we will most often find being used with our patients. These basic ventilator modes will form the core understanding of the ways in which we are supporting our patients breathing.

We start off talking about the differences between the 2 mains types of ventilation, volume control and pressure control. In this lesson we are going to focus solely on volume control so we move on to talk about the different settings that we will find for our vents in this mode, as well as just a couple of the key bits of monitoring data that will be displayed on the vent.

From there we move in to talk about the different basic types of volume control modes. These modes we can think of as a hierarchy of support from the most supportive, with CMV, down to less and less support through Assist Control, SIMV, and ultimately ending in Pressure Support.

I have recently transitioned into the ICU and I have been binge-watching your videos. Your content is excellent and I have learned so much. Thank you so much for creating this channel. I will probably end up watching all of your videos. Phenomenal work!

[Iamdiggity]

This video literally saved me in clinics today. We just started learning about mechanical ventilation and one of the doctor quiz us, the rt students, about why a SIMV mode was more comfortable than the AC mode. I literally watch this video last night before clinics and was able to answer that it’s because AC mode forces a pt to take in the full set tidal volume while the SIMV will allow the pt to take in whichever tidal volume they want when they initiate a breath and everyone was like good answer. 😂 thank you for making me not look dumb for once.

Have worked Tele / med surg for 3 years and finally moving to ICU in 2 days. Have been watching these videos trying to get ready. So nervous! But these are helping :)

[misslee]

Thank you, if I’m coming out of retirement for COVID I needed a refresher Course !

[crodriguez]

I have searched for hours for a simple but informational run down of these vent modes. I found this an hour before my test and now feel ready. Thank you!

Thanks for the educational videos. My dad has been fighting COVID-19 for 79 days and I have been learning LOTS about the ventilation machine and all the settings, but as he's getting down to pressure support, I want to understand the road to weaning and finally being extubated! That will be a glorious day and just one of many milestones he's overcome as he continues to heal. Thanks for the info for even us non-medical people trying to understand this process for our family members.

Thank you so much for having the patience to be an effective teacher. Helping us understand all of these concepts makes us more competent and understanding of our patient's situation. I couldn't believe I could understand all that you're teaching--as I felt overwhelmed before for not having a clue on any of these! Massive thanks again!!! May He bless you a lot.

[sherryann]

I have been out of ICU x 5 yrs now. I was recently redeployed to ICU within our organization to support during this difficult time. Your videos saved me. I have forgotten so much but your videos helped me cultivate all that previous knowledge and experience. Thank you so much!

Hello, great video. I'm an ER RN and I am watching videos like this, because I think I may be in charge of lots of vented patients. I never realized how valuable RTs are.

[Chadders]

Really useful video. I'll be entering the NHS as a FY1 doctor soon, and thought it was important to gain a basic understanding of ventilator modes so that I can be of much use as possible. This is a great resource and I'll be sure to share it with my fellow final year students.

[cailingli]

This is ICU for dummies. Thanks for breaking it down with all the key points. So easy to understand. Thank you.

Hello! I am a retired firefighter/paramedic turned college professor where I teach in a paramedic program. I also have experience doing critical care transports. This video will be a FANTASTIC resource for my students. The only thing I find lacking from this video is high- and low-pressure alarm settings and troubleshooting those alarms. Please keep up the great work!

[vladislavbonev]

Loved it!Thank you! I am working as an ICU Physiotherapist and this video has sure helped me improve my understanding of the MV modes!

[lyndiaazevedo]

I'm going back to bedside after 8 years. Thank you for keeping it straight forward!

[joanlynaugh]

These videos are a great resource for non ICU nurses who will be caring for covid patients.

[dralemsegedlecturessimplif]

Yes this is an advantage!

You are one of those who encourage to start my channel on 2020.

[drruchapatel]

So many times & books fails to give us that specific information what we need ....bt ur videos r very precise & exactly what I u so much🌼

[butterontoast]

Thank you. This is one of the best explanations of different vent modes I have watched. Currently have a family member w/ COVID on a vent. I find understanding the numbers helpful.

[foxa]

Amazing explanation of ventilator settings! Thanks you for this video! A must watch for any ICU RN

[AlexisVictoria]

New grad ICU nurse checking in! Thank you for the to all the ICU nurses who tune in to refresh or gain more insight into their unit!
