Q

Effect of peak flow on ventilation and I:E (increasing or too high)

A

Increasing peak flow -> decreases I time, increases E time, improve venous return
Too high peak flow -> increase PIP, turbulence, but decrease venous return

Q

Artificial airway complications/hazards and how to manage

A

Tube disconnection -> set alarms, ambu bag
Sore throat, edema, etc -> use less than 25-30 mmHg of cuff pressure
Cuff over-inflation -> deflate, reintubate
