Building a Ventilator Simulator with Power Point
I worked on this project for a mobile app wire-frame three years ago and recorded the process (over 70 short videos) thinking someone else might want to use this technique. This technique is for anyone that has ever wanted to build a simulator however does not have a computer programming background. These videos demonstrate how to build a interactive operator interface for an mechanical ventilator using MS Power Point. These lessons can be applied to create simulators for education, presentations, mobile app prototyping, etc.

What’s Your Mode?
Happy 2016! This post is to inform readers on two topics
related to this blog.
First
This year I will begin transitioning this blog and my
YouTube page to a FREE email subscription based newsletter. Throughout the year
I will continue to post content on the blog and brief videos on my YouTube
page, however subscribers to my newsletter will receive additional content on
the topics of mechanical ventilation and respiratory therapy (e.g. extended
more detailed videos, PDF files, etc.).
After December 2016 no additional content will be posted
here, however the blog & YouTube page will remain open as an archive.

Second
I will be starting a new video series similar to ones I have
already created (e.g. APRV, PC-CMV, Adaptive Pressure Control). The title of
this series is “What’s your mode?”
This series will be comprised of approximately 18 videos providing
operational transparency to the various modes of mechanical ventilation. I
believe this is important because clinicians’ need to understand the boundaries
of these modalities which is not always disclosed by the device manufacturer.
The video idea was conceived after reading I believe one of
the most brilliant papers and theories on mechanical ventilation “A rational framework for selecting modes of mechanical ventilation” [1]. This paper questions why we use a specific ventilator mode and
proposes selecting a mode based on the three central goals of mechanical
ventilation; patient safety, patient comfort, and transitioning to liberation.
The paper also introduces selecting a mode of mechanical ventilation based on
mode capabilities and features to accomplish these goals.
Note- two evident things;
The mode has to be available on the
ventilator in use.
The clinician has to be competent
and know the capabilities and boundaries of a specific mode.
