This video explains the indications for mechanical ventilation, the difference between positive and negative pressure ventilation, ventilator settings as well as ventilator modes of assist control (AC) and synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV). It further defines and delineates the terms of pressure support (PS), peak end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), Bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPap), and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
