FiO2 by 0.05-.10 increments

  • image PEEP by 2–3 cm H2O
  • image I:E ratio by changing the inspiratory time (Ti)
  • imageSuctioning of secretions
  • Use bronchodilators
  • Use diuretics for pulmonary edema

      High PaO2 (O2 saturation)


       


      • image FiO2 in 0.05-.10 decrements

      Acidosis/PACO2 increased


       

      Secondary to image image(image =VT x RR. Normal range is 5–8L/min)



      • imageVT by 1–2ml/kg IBW per hour (not higher than 10 ml/kg IBW)
      • image RR by 2–3 but do not exceed 35 breaths/min
      • image Peak pressure (on pressure support) to increase VT by 1–2 ml/kg IBW

      Secondary to trauma, sepsis, burns, or high carbohydrates



      • Correct underlying etiology
      • Change diet to low carbohydrate, high fat

      Alkalosis/PACO2 decreased


      Secondary to image image



      • image RR by 2–3 breaths per minute
      • imageVT by 1–2ml/kg IBW
      • imagePeak pressure (on pressure support) by 5 cmH2O

      Secondary to imageRR from anxiety, pain, CNS disorders



      • imagesedation
      • imagepain medication
