Understanding Ventilator Settings

This is an introduction to ventilator settings like FIO2, PEEP, Flow rate,trigger,TV, and RR.  I also discuss how these settings relate to CO2 and O2 control and to complications like oxygen toxicity and barotrauma with an emphasis on physiology.  I targeted this presentation to fellow medical students, nursing students and respiratory therapy students.  It is admittedly over simplified in places, but I hope you find it useful nonetheless.
