If you've had a look at the ventilator in action, you'll notice there are numbers that remain fixed, and that there are numbers that seem to change from breath to breath. This is because there are particular settings that we mandatorily 'set' for the ventilator to deliver to the patient; whilst then we monitor the section to see what the actual patient is doing/receiving.
As mentioned I cover the majority of the absolute basics; yet there are some things I haven't covered yet. This will change in the coming episodes.
Today we cover:
- Tidal Volume (Vt)
- Respiratory Rate (RR)
- Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP)
- Fraction of Inspired Oxygen (Fi02)
- Minute Ventilation (MV)
- Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP)
