Скачать или смотреть Invasive Mechanical Ventilation Made Simple (AC, PSV, VAP Prevention)

In this video, we break down invasive mechanical ventilation from physiology to bedside management, helping you understand how ventilators work and how nurses keep patients safe.

You’ll learn:

Indications for invasive mechanical ventilation

Core ventilator concepts:

Triggers (what starts a breath)

Cycles (what ends a breath)

Limits (what the ventilator won’t exceed)

Key ventilator modes:

Assist-Control (AC)

Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV)

How ventilator settings match patient needs

Major complications:

Ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI)

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)

Prevention strategies used in the ICU

Weaning and extubation protocols, including:

Spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs)

Nursing responsibilities during life-support management

This guide is designed to help you think like a critical care nurse, recognize ventilator-related risks, and choose the safest NCLEX answer every time.
