When a mechanical ventilator isn’t available, the ability to perform manual ventilation confidently can be life-saving in veterinary practice.
Discover how to recognise and prevent complications such as hypoventilation, altered lung volume, and atelectasis, and understand how these can lead to hypoxaemia and hypercapnia. Through Caroline’s expert explanations and video demonstrations, you’ll learn correct ventilation techniques and how to confidently use the adjustable pressure-limiting (APL) valve to keep your patients safe under anaesthesia.
