Intimidated by the ventilator and the information on the ventilator screen? Or don’t know how to adjust the ventilator settings according to your patient's needs? You tried to learn mechanical ventilation before through reading textbooks or watching videos but your confusion has only increased? I was exactly in your shoes and I’ve been through this struggle to learn mechanical ventilation before, and that’s why I created this course! To save you all the struggle I’ve been through and make learning mechanical ventilation fun, easy, and simple! No previous ventilator experience is required!
By the end of this course, you will be able to understand and interpret everything on th screen, pick the right mode of mechanical ventilation, pick your initial ventilator settings, adjust the ventilator settings according to your patient's need, monitor respiratory mechanics on the ventilator screen, and finally, you will know how to wean your patients of the ventilator, it’s a comprehensive course that will take you from a beginner to an intermediate if not advanced level in mechanical ventilation
I am Maher Alrahamneh, a board-certified internal medicine physician with over 12 years of hospital medicine experience. Throughout my career, I have provided care to numerous ICU patients, affording me significant expertise in ventilator management. I am committed to imparting this valuable experience to you through this course, aiming to streamline and enhance your learning journey.

What others who watched this course have said
"The series is amazing! These videos will go viral sooner or later .. thank you so much for your efforts"
"you really have done great job. it is very helpful. you filled the gaps, simplified the difficulties especially when explaining the physiology behind every setting we apply or any abnormality that occurs during placing a patient on mechanical ventilation"
"I appreciate how the videos are broken down into small blocks. It's overwhelming to watch long videos and read the long texts"
"Again and again, thanks for your time and effort. I am highly grateful"
