Vent Confidence Path

Stop “dial-turning” and start managing ventilation with a repeatable system you can trust—especially when the patient gets weird.
Settings vs measurements
Calculate the settings, apply them, and then make sure they are reaching the patient using the 6 Horsemen of the Ventilator Apocalypse.
Troubleshoot Under Pressure
Handle high pressures, low volumes, auto-PEEP, and “why is this patient fighting me?” without panic-clicking.
Transport-Ready Vent Logic
Build a simple decision framework that works in the back of the unit or the aircraft, not just in a classroom.

Vent Hero

Vent Hero turns ventilator management from button-pushing into clear, repeatable decision-making. It breaks down modes, settings, and troubleshooting in a way that sticks—especially when compliance, resistance, and acid–base start fighting each other. If you want ventilators to feel logical instead of mystical, this is your playbook.

Vent Hero: Sidekick

Vent Hero: Sidekick is the workbook that turns Vent Hero concepts into real-world ventilator decision-making—fast. It walks you through 12 tough, dynamic cases where settings change, data evolves, and you have to adjust like you would on an actual transport. Each case uses the Vent Hero approach to build a repeatable method for choosing modes, dialing in settings, interpreting measured data, and troubleshooting when things go sideways. If Vent Hero is the playbook, Sidekick is the reps that make it stick.

Swearingen's Resource & Study Guide for Critical Care Transport Clinicians

This is the “everything in one place” study companion that goes way beyond a standard dump sheet. It’s packed with high-yield references, quick-look frameworks, and organized indexes that make it useful both for exam prep and real-world transport work. If you want one guide you can live out of during training (and still keep on your shelf afterward), this is it.

Critical Care Transport Handbook

A practical, no-fluff field guide built for clinicians working in the transport environment where decisions have to be fast and defensible. It ties physiology to what you actually do at the bedside, in the back of a unit, or in the aircraft. Use it as your day-to-day reference and your “what am I missing?” safety net when the call gets spicy.
