the explanation was good and very updated, but i think not suitable for beginners in ventilation
here is my full review

first you need to add a basic video about respiratory distress and failure , indication for MV and how to deal with device itself
and it is a must to add video about NIV

the explanation of the modes overall were good and sufficient
note: the video about how to set pause in hamilton device is a duplicate of the drager video

the advanced modes and graphics modes i found it insufficient at all
the ARDS video was awesome , but may add video about the prone procedure
the COPD video were good
the weaning were magnificent in the algorithm but the weaning failure approach needs more time and examples
