0.8-1.0
Initial PEEP settings for all infants and kids?
5
What is the neonate rule of 5 for mech. ventilation?
Vt: 5 mL/kg
RR: 50
PEEP: 5
Initial Respiratory Rate (RR) for adults?
12-16 bpm
when would you infant use active humidity for adult/passive humidity?
- < 25kg use infant circuit w/active humidity
- > 25kg use adult/passive (unless indicated)
What should you set initial FiO2 to?
Whatever the pts. currently on or .4-0.5.
- generally speaking FiO2 and PEEP don’t move too much.
What are FiO2 ranges to aim for on mech. ventilation for neonates
need to confirm
0.21-0.30
- or match what babe is on.
- try to wean down if possible to prevent ROP.
