Mechanical ventilation doesn't have to feel like wizardry. In this podcast episode, we strip it back to what really matters—simple mental models, clean decision-making, and an approach that works whether you're in the back of a helicopter, a tight ambulance box, or a chaotic ED bay.
We walk through the foundational concepts and the "why" behind each knob you touch. Then we zoom in on the Hamilton T1, the vent many of us love, hate, and still rely on every single shift. We cover what the T1 gets right, where people get tripped up, and how to let the machine work with you instead of against you.
If you've ever wished mechanical ventilation felt less like memorizing settings and more like understanding physiology in motion, this episode will tighten up your practice and give you tools you can use on your very next flight or transport.
