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)
- (adjust to plateau pressure <35 cmH20)
- I/E 1:3
- PS (pressure support) 5-8cm to overcome ET
Table
Disease | TV^ | RR | I:E | PEEP |
Nl lung | 8 | 10-12 | 1:2 | 4 |
Obstruct | 6 | 5-8 | 1:4 | 4 |
ARDS | 6 | 12-20 | 1:2 | 2-15 |
Hypovol | 8 | 10-12 | 1:2 | 0-4 |
^cc/kg
^^FiO2 always = 1.0
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
