In this video, I'm going to be exploring the world of oscillators! Oscillators are a fundamental tool in in the NICU, and although it looks scary and complicated, I'm going to teach you everything you need to know about them. I'll start by explaining what an oscillator is and how it works, and then we'll move on to different part of oscillators and the buttons, along with how to use them. We'll also cover some practical applications.
If you're interested in learning about oscillators, then this is the video for you! Stay tuned for part II, where we'll be exploring more advanced concepts and give you a couple of examples for you to test your knowledge.
So whether you're a beginner or an expert, watch this video to find out the truth about this archaic yet useful ventilator.
Watch Part 1 of a TWO part series to help you understand what it is, how it works, and then some of the settings that we use on the Oscillator, such as mean airway pressure (MAP), amplitude, and frequency.
