In this video, from our Blood Gas Analysis Essentials course, you'll learn about the pathophysiologic consequences of a functional state of regional lung ventilation unaccompanied by blood flow—physiological dead space.

In this video, we'll cover the anatomical and physiological factors that determine how well different parts of the lung are ventilated, key equations you need to know that describe this heterogeneity, and how this affects your clinical decision-making.

In this short interview, we talk about how to be happy and successful as a cardiologist, what makes a great clinician, researcher and overall human being. If you are working in cardiology, you don't want to miss these valuable nuggets of wisdom!

In this video, you'll learn about the use of colour flow mapping and spectral Doppler-based techniques to locate and visually assess the severity of pulmonary regurgitation.

In this video, we'll review the mechanisms by which NIV can improve ventilation.  

In this video, we'll take a look at the importance of diffusing capacity, as a measure of gas exchange, and consider the clinical factors that affect it.

In this video, you'll learn about the Doppler measurements used to identify the presence of tricuspid valve stenosis.

If you’ve had limited experience ventilating patients (or if it’s been a long time since you’ve done so), you might be concerned about making things worse for patients who are already critically ill.

In this video, you'll learn about the impact of diffusing capacity and other factors that affect gas transfer across membranes, as well as how this relates to respiratory pathologies such as emphysema and pulmonary fibrosis.

In this video, from our Blood Gas Analysis Essentials course, we'll take a deep dive into the fractional concentration of gases and how to calculate this important value.
