Course overview
Mechanical ventilation is an interim life support procedure that in itself is not therapeutic. Its purpose is to maintain a patient's ventilation and give the physician time to provide medical treatment with drugs, surgery and other procedures. A plan for weaning the patient from the ventilator should be developed and implemented as soon as the patient begins spontaneous breathing. The respiratory care practitioner must be an expert in operating all types of ventilators in all modes of delivery. This is not easy for there are over 32 different types of ventilators and each have as many as 22 different control functions. With the advent of continuous elevated baseline pressures and IMV in the late 1960's, the physician and respiratory practitioner have a greater range of choices for controlling a patient's arterial blood gases.
