ventilation in the obstructive lung disease #StoweEM20 by @mattroginski
shoutout to @mdcalc - measure height and use formula to obtain TV #StoweEM20 by @mattroginski
dont stress about the etCO2 81 - hypercapnia wont kill the patient. trying to achieve a normal pCO2 might 💀 (dynamic hyperinflation causes obstructive shock) . #StoweEM20 by @mattroginski
autoPEEP can be measured, but this requires a passive patient. waveforms provide qualitative information even if not passive #StoweEM20 by @mattroginski
the primary driver of autoPeep is respiratory rate (*not* tinkering with the inspiratory time). shoot for resp rate around 10-14 #StoweEM20 by @mattroginski
