Point of View
2. Physiological Issues:
Inspiratory time (I Time):is the time allotted to deliver the set tidal volume (in
volume control settings) or set pressure (in pressure control settings).
(Normal for Adult 0.75 -1.2 sec)
Positive End Expiratory Pressure (PEEP): is the positive pressure that remains at
the end of exhalation.
Phase variables
Parameters which control the phases of a mechanical breath.:
The trigger variable determines how and when the ventilator ends exhalation
and commenced inhalation.
The limit (Targeted) variable restrict the maximum value which the
parameters can achieve during inspiration
Patients receive the same breath, with the same parameters as set
by the clinician, with every breath
Minute
Ventilation
Tidal Respiratory
Volume Rate FiO2 PEEP
Minute Ventilation = is the amount of air the patient moves in one minute; it is a
product of the ventilatory rate and tidal volume
Mechanical Ventilation in COVID-19
and low tidal volume protocol
Target tidal volume 4–6 mL/kg PBW for patients with ARDS.
