Patient got remdesivir & dexamethasone. SpO2 88% after bolus NMB & pulling ETT(3cm). As you increase PEEP to 18, driving pressure improves, but the SpO2 drops to 72% without hypotension. You decrease PEEP back to previous but SpO2 still 70s. The next step is: #FOAMcc #MedTwitter
1/ With inhaled NO SpO2 improved to 97%, and after 2h FiO2 was down to 40% and rapid weaning.
