The above video is recording of the regular ICU classes taken by Dr. Ankur Gupta (Intensivist) in the hospital.
This video explains and discuss the Basics of Invasive Mechanical Ventilator Graphs and Waveforms in ICU. In first half the basics is discussed and in later half, graphs are seen on the running ventilator in ICU.
Those are new to this topic, It is highly recommended to watch the video on "Master basics of invasive mechanical ventilation in 45 minutes " in ICU. The link is given below:
