We are joined by Noah Jones, BSRT, RRT-ACCS, RCP, RVT, VTS (Research Anesthetist) respiratory guru extraordinaire. Noah is both a veterinary technician specialist and a human respiratory therapist. He works in a large referral hospital on the East Coast. His favourite topic is mechanical ventilation, and he travels the country teaching ventilator wet/dry labs at various conferences and venues. He is also a husband and father, and we have a guest appearance by his charming daughter during the show. 

 

We discuss a range of topics, including oxygen therapy, monitoring, and blood sampling, and I get schooled in respiratory physiology.
