L1
Level 1 = This fundamental material is intended for a broad audience of learners, of multiple cadres, who may provide care for patients with severe or critical illness, but may have little or no experience caring for severe or critically-ill patients and are usually not the primary decision maker for guiding care.
L2
Level 2 = This intermediate material is intended for a more advanced audience of learners than level 1, with some experience caring for patients with severe or critical illness, and may not be essential for all practitioners who provide this level of care.
L3
Level 3 = This advanced material is intended for an audience with significant experience caring for patients with severe and critical illness, including those who guide care decisions these patients.

Use this calculator to estimate the oxygen capacity for a cylinder with unknown specifications and size.
Use this online calculator to understand oxygen consumption for different hypothetical scenarios (e.g. different patient numbers, severity of condition, delivery devices and duration of care).
The NEW version of this calculator allows users to track facility level oxygen consumption and download, graph or print data.

These respiratory care order set templates cover the key principles for respiratory care for both adult and pediatric patients. Separate Adult and Pediatric ARDS order sets are included, whereas other included respiratory care order sets are combined for adult and pediatric patients. These order sets should be modified to adhere with local practice guidelines and must be reviewed and implemented by appropriately trained and certified clinicians. Protocols also include ARDS Net lung protective ventilation as well as orders for spontaneous breathing trials (SBTs), difficult to wean patients and cuff leak tests.
