Don’t hold your breath for this one. In this month’s episode, we take a deep dive into ventilation basics and walk through how normal respiratory physiology compares to positive-pressure ventilation in the OR. We break down core settings like FiO₂, tidal volume, respiratory rate, I:E ratio, and PEEP, then explore common ventilation modes and when you might choose each one. To round things out, we apply it all to a real case and talk through how to pick safe and sensible settings for a patient with COPD. This episode is packed with practical tips to help you feel more comfortable at the ventilator during your next anesthesia rotation.
