ONLINE VENTILATOR WAVEFORM TUTORIAL

The ability to analyze ventilator waveforms is essential to the appropriate management of patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Because of its importance, ventilator waveform analysis is covered extensively in textbooks on intensive care medicine.

Vivek Iyer, Steven Holets and Rolf Hubmayr, of the Mayo Clinic, have created an easy-to-read tutorial on ventilator waveform analysis and interpretation. In addition to detailed graphical descriptions of basic ventilator waveforms, the authors use diagrams and videos to provide examples of common clinical scenarios related to mechanical ventilation and specific tips for waveform analysis.
