Pressure control and volume control are the most common two modes for mechanical ventilation in both children and adults. Understanding these two modes is critical for critically ill patients. In this video we compare these two modes side-by-side discussing their similarities and differences. We use trigger, target, and cycling as a way to better understand them and compare their pressure, flow, and volume scalars to gain a fuller understanding.
Pressure versus Volume Control Trigger, Target, Cycling.
Comparing PC versus VC Scalars.

Central Venous Pressure (CVP) waveforms or tracings are commonly encountered especially in the intensive care units. Understanding these tracings are critical to best caring for these sick patients. In this video, we dive into the CVP waveform discussing the different parts of the waveform (A, C, X, V, Y) thinking of these parts as both results of the various phases of cardiac activity as well as the cardiac cycle on telemetry (P, QRS, and T).
Anatomy of CVP, Central Venous Access, Right Atrial Pressure.
CVP Waveform/Tracing (A, C, X, V, Y) Explained.
CVP Tracing Review, Comparison to Telemetry (P, QRS, T).

The Central Venous Pressure (CVP) waveform and tracing can indicate significant cardiac pathologies. Being able to identify these abnormalities is critical for patient care. In this video, we dive into one of these abnormal CVP tracings called "cannon A waves". We talk about what these look like, how to identify them, and what may be causing them!
CVP Measurements, Central Venous Access, Right Atrial Pressure.
Normal CVP waveform and tracing.
Cannon A Waves.
Causes of Cannon A Waves.
