Mechanical Ventilation (basic principles)

A short animated video on the very basics of mechanical ventilation. If you are new to ventilation or are just curious about how one works then this is for you! All demonstrated using simple (and hopefully entertaining animations).
In this video we cover;
-The basics of normal breathing: how contractions of the respiratory muscles pull air into and out of the lungs.
-The basics of mechanically controlled breathing: How breathing controlled by a ventilator differs from normal breathing.
-Some of the things that can go wrong such as infections and overworking the lungs.

Really informative, however theres a lot of simple spelling errors on most slides.
Diaphragm, volume, vacuum, breathe/breath and ventilation are some noted

Thanks Kirsti, spelling was never my strong point!
