Q

What are four ways to eliminate more carbon dioxide?

A

Increase the ventilator rate, in pressure control mode adjust the size of the ventilator breath being delivered so that they have to blow off bigger breaths, in volume control mode increase the title volume, change the I time so that it is shorter so there’s more time for exhalation
