I:E Ratio Made Easy

IE ratio is explained using an analogy of taking a trip. The respiratory rate determines the trip time, the tidal volume is the length of the train, and the flow is the speed of driving. Increasing tidal volume increases inspiratory time and decreases expiratory time. Increasing flow decreases inspiratory time and increases expiratory time.

What a creative way to explain the above concepts! Awesome.

Do you have any mechanical ventilation videos? I’m not understanding what changes what, far as how to know when I increase or decrease Vt, rr , FIO2 or what do I look at to know to increase or decrease PIP/Pplat.

Or some videos of some scenarios being in A/C vs PC?

I have a complete mechanical ventilation course offered on my website. www.respiratoryhq.com/offers/mEUwVTe3/checkout

@@respiratoryhq2082ok, thank you.

[@touseefmahmud5970]

Is the mechanical ventilation course time limited after buying?

[@respiratoryhq2082]

It is not. It’s your’s for however long you need it.
