Ventilator Settings

Depending on the type of respiratory failure, partial or total ventilation support

1.         Total Ventilation Support: (CMV, AC, PCV) generally:

a.         RR 10-12 x / min

b.         TV 80-10 ml / kg to prevent: high PAW, Volu or Barotrauma

2.         Partial Support Ventilation

a.         Usually low SIMV <8 x / '

b.         Tidal volume of 6-10 ml / kg, with or without PS

c.          Patients breathing spontaneously with SIMV must overcome resistance from the ETT, valve, ventilator breathing circuit

d.         ETT small (<7.0-7.5) should be avoided

e.         The use of simultaneous SIMV PS 5-15 cmH2O to overcome resistance of the ETT & circuit

f.          The addition of PS 5-8 cmH2O during positive ventilation and gas exchange to maintain PRC
