  • Abstract
    There are hundreds of ventilator modes on different ventilators. Despite different names, many are similar in functions and options. Educational institutions only teach a limited collection of ventilator modes of a few numbers of models; therefore, graduates may have substantial difficulties encountering new ventilator models with unfamiliar mode names on them. In this article, an Android application for finding similar modes on different ventilators is presented. The aim is to help an intensive care practitioner to easily find a familiar mode on a new ventilator.
