HealthStream®: Interpretation of Ventilator Waveforms
Please choose your accreditation type.
Overview
Ventilator graphics or waveforms provide clinicians with important information about the functioning of the ventilator as well as the status of the patient. Waveforms ensure the patient is ventilated for maximum lung expansion without barotrauma. This continuing education activity will provide respiratory care professionals with the information they need to analyze ventilator waveform graphics in order to appropriately manage ventilated patients.
