Study Notes
VC/AC Perimeters
- Vt (Tidal Volume) is determined based on Ideal Body Weight (IBW).
- Normal Respiratory Rate (RR) ranges from 12 to 18 breaths per minute.
- Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) typically set between 0 to 10 cm H2O; a PEEP of 5 cm H2O is recommended as a starting point.
- Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (FIO2) should be between 40-60% or match the patient's prior settings.
- Peak Flow is initiated at 60 L/min; for COPD patients, starting at 70 L/min may be necessary.
- Flow trigger sensitivity should be close to 0 (range of -1 to 1) for easier patient-triggered breaths; higher values make triggering harder.
PC Perimeters
- Normal Respiratory Rate (RR) remains the same at 12 to 18 breaths per minute.
- Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) is a critical measurement in pressure-controlled ventilation; specific values would depend on patient requirements.
