Ventilating Severe Acidosis: ResusX edition!

Running back my talk from ResusX about ventilating severe acidosis! I try to approach this from a pragmatic perspective! Nothing will work great so just do the least bad thing!!

What is SIMV?

We all know SIMV sucks, but what exactly is the difference between SIMV and AC?

Pressure Control 2 Webinar Sample : Abnormal Waveforms!

In this episode of Peak Inspiration, we’re bringing you a high-yield excerpt from the Pressure Control Part 2 webinar, focused on one of the most practical skills in mechanical ventilation—recognizing abnormal waveforms. We break down how to interpret pressure, flow, and volume waveforms through the lens of the equation of motion, helping you pinpoint whether the issue lies in resistance, compliance, or patient effort. Instead of memorizing patterns, this episode teaches you how to think through the waveform so you can quickly identify what’s wrong at the bedside. If you’ve ever looked at a ventilator and felt like something was off but couldn’t quite explain why, this episode will sharpen that instinct and give you a framework you can apply immediately.
