Off the back of the hugely successful “Own the Oxlyog” guidelines, our good friend, co-creator of our ED Procedures Course and colleague Emergency Physician Dr George Douros has just released the “Own the Hamilton T1 Ventilator – When you can no longer Own the Oxylog” video and quick reference/action cards. This is an amazing new resource for anyone looking after inubated patients (trauma or otherwise!) who are being ventilated with the Hamilton T1.
This is a succinct, practical yet comprehensive guide and covers ventilator setup and use in different age groups, different patterns of lung disease, how to use ASV mode, and includes tips on using it for non-invasive ventilation. This is a fantastic resource as most ED’s and retrieval services in Australia now use the Hamilton T1, and the Oxylog 3000 is a thing of the past.
Like the previous Own the Oxylog series, you can now download George’s printable quick-reference/action cards for the Hamilton T1 that you can laminate and attach to your ventilator here:

You can also download some simulation cases that take you through some challenging ventilation situations and are designed to get participants using the quick-reference/action cards and doing some troublshooting.

These PowerPoint slides contain in the images/xray/blood gas results for the simulation cases:

We hope you find these resources useful, the Hamilton T1 can seem confusing to use at first, but we promise once you’ve watched the video and started using George’s guidelines, you will definitely be able to Own the Hamilton!
