Who says understanding ventilator modes has to be hard? This book gives you easy to understand information that every RRT, RN, or Resident always wishes they had. Each mode is described in simple language and answers the three most important questions about ventilator modes: What the mode does, how it works, and when should it be used? Written by a critical care respiratory therapist, this book provides a great foundation to become a ventilator management authority.

A total of fourteen different ventilator modes are described in detail including both conventional and high frequency ventilation.

A bonus section also thoroughly describes Ventilator settings and terminology, as well as the three most common weaning parameters in use today!

Whether your a Registered Nurse, Respiratory Therapist, Medical Resident or any allied health professional working in critical care units, you will find this book to be a great resource.

I am a registered respiratory therapist (RRT) and certified pulmonary function technician and know firsthand how difficult and confusing learning about respiratory therapy can be. In an effort to help current respiratory therapy students navigate their way through complex subjects and literature, I’ve written seven books about respiratory therapy that break the subject down into simple and concise language.

I graduated with a B.S. in Health Science from Nova Southeastern University and am currently working as a critical care respiratory therapist. I regularly perform pulmonary function testing and I created simulation testing software to help respiratory therapist students practice for the National Board of Respiratory Care Registered Respiratory Therapist (NBRC RRT) exam.

I measure my success as an author and educator by the success of my students and readers. The positive reviews of my books and the emails I receive from grateful students help to motivate me to continue to help those who are currently studying to become a registered respiratory therapist. My first book, Ventilator Modes Made Easy, remains a bestseller in Respiratory Therapy books and I have since written seven books on respiratory therapy and one book on all of the best dad jokes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good overview book

This is a good overview book on the various types of mechanical ventilator modes. Tells the critical elements of each, explains well how they differ from basic CMV. Won't go into advanced detail, but for an RT student who might be struggling to understand the modes, a Nurse who wants to understand them better, or someone working in a rural area or someone who has been out of the field a while and returning, is a good overview of ventilator modes you might not be familiar with. Well written, easy to understand.

It lacked detail. It is a good starting point for an introduction to ventilator modes, but I found online simulations to be far more interesting, with feedback.

This is only a brief description of only a few of the ventilation modes we can use today. Too simple.

good revisional material, it would be better if there are diagram or illustration. So the downside, this book is only good for ppl who are already using ventilators

This book has really helped me grasp some concepts I was having trouble with and is a quick reference for me with ventilator use. In our small ER department there is infrequent ventilator use and like the fact that I can get my Kindle app or Kindle out quickly if I am needing assistance.
