CO2 in arterial blood crosses the blood brain barrier in CSF, CO2 combines with H2O produces H+ + HCO3–. • H+ acts in central chemoreceptors causing hyperventilation via vagus nerve…
Example of common I:E ratio setting:APRV 4:1 vs. AC 1:2 • It will increase mean airway pressure (Pmean) without increasing peak pressures. • It allows for superimposed spontaneous ventilation by the patient….
