Core Tip
Core Tip: Our Saudi national findings have questioned the effectiveness of the current education and training approaches on mechanical ventilation subject and its related management such as patient-ventilator asynchrony detection. Therefore, “keep calm and carry on strategy” is no longer effective; hence keep research with training and carry on strategy is indeed what we need to improve patient’s outcomes.
