Initial

  • FiO2 100% and ween down
  • Rate 8-12/min
    • consider 5-6 for asthma w/ permissive hypercapnea
  • Mode
    • A/C = defalt (most)
    • SIMV = with obstructive airway disease and an intact respiratory effort (e.g. some COPD, asthma)
    • PC = with intact respiratory effort and non-severe respiratory failure (prefered in chronic vent)
  • PEEP 0-5 mmH20
  • TV 5-8 cc/kg (eg. 500-600cc)

Changes

O2

  • PaO2 (ween to SaO2 >90% & PaO2 >60)
  • FiO2 (ween to <0.5 if poss)
  • PEEP (see ARDS schedule; if >10, should have art line)
    • (rule of 7s: decrease 1 FiO2 = 7 pO2)

CO2

  • PCO2
    • TV
    • Rate
  • (VE-1 x pCO2-1 = VE-2 x pCO2-2)
    • VE = minute ventilation (RR x TV)

pH

to increase pH 0.01 --> decrease pCO2 by 1

MISC (normally already set)

  • Inspiratory flow rate = 60L/min (100L/min with asthma)
  • Sensitivity = 1-2 cmH2O
