This document was created by Alex Yartsev if I have used your data or images and forgot to reference you, please email me. With Basic Assessment and Support in Intensive Care by Gomersall et all as a foundation, I built using the humongous and canonical Principles and Practice of Mechanical Ventilation by Tobins et al the 1442 page 2nd edition Inspiratory phase Initiation phase Plateau phase: the change from inspiration to expiration; +/- inspiratory pause Basic Physics of Mechanical Ventilation : A ventilator is just a sophisticated leaf blower.
- Inside, there is a precisely controlled turbine. It spins and generates a flow. The CONTROL variables: -FLOW -VOLUME -PRESSURE Compliance A ventilator can be set to “control” one of these variables. A “controlled” variable will be treated as the main goal of the ventilators’ work. Its waveform will not change on the
