Abstract: To facilitate patient care, advanced breathing devices require crucial nursing management. To recognise adverse occurrences and enhance the quality of care, the nursing staff in hospitals should have a basic awareness of how a ventilator operates.1 Aim: The study's aim was to improve the knowledge of healthcare professionals regarding Ventilator Operation and its mode. Methodology: To determine the impact of a Video Assisted Teaching knowledge regarding Ventilator Operation and its mode among nurses, a quasi- experimental two group pre and post-test design was utilised. The target population for the study was nurses. Data analysis was done using the study's aims and assumptions as the basis for the sample size of 70. Statistical Package EZR - Software version 2.4 was used to analyse the data. Result: The pre-test knowledge scores of the control group and interventional group were 11.54±3.10 and 11.46±3.25, respectively. The experimental group's post-test knowledge scores were statistically significantly different from the control group's (p=0.00) mean scores in this study 24.17±3.61 and the control group's being 12.06 ± 2.73. Conclusion: Inadequate ventilator settings in combination with respiratory diseases and nurses' incapacity to spot impending deterioration can have serious repercussions, numerous complications, and a lengthened hospital stay. Since many decisions about ventilators are based on nurses' collaboration with doctors, nurses play a crucial role in supporting patients' health and recovery in high dependency settings.2
