Advances of Mechanical Ventilation for EMS – Part 3
As the crew starts to summarize their time with Tony, a few things are addressed: What if a department doesn’t have the inclination to initiate advanced mechanical ventilation? If they do, what kind of education needs to be commence and be continued. Also, what about mechanical ventilation in pediatric patients? Research shows that 93% of clinicians are improperly bagging patients. Using mechanical ventilation support can be more effective as long as the proper training is done initially and continued regularly.

Advances of Mechanical Ventilation for EMS – Part 2
The crew continues to go through the basics of the respiratory system.... the anatomy, tidal volumes, pressure ventilation, the terminology, etc. As EMS professionals, we need to understand the basics of the respiratory system's operations in detail before mechanical ventilation can be applied. When you think of oxygenation, there are 2 ways to fix it, pharmacologically or with mechanical ventilation.

Advances of Mechanical Ventilation for EMS – Part 1
The crew is talking to Tony, a Respiratory Therapist educator and paramedic, about the portability and use of mechanical ventilators in the prehospital setting. Some EMS agencies have already purchased more advanced mechanical ventilators to move this concept forward. When they take this step, there needs to be a strong understanding of mechanical ventilation physiology.
