My initial mechanical ventilation setup on the Carefusion Avea

This is my initial ventilator setup on the Carefusion Avea.

Pressure Assist Control mode copes with almost any non-asthmatic patient.

Simply titrate the Inspiratory Pressure to get a Tidal Volume of 6ml/kg.

And then, over time, down titrate Inspiratory Pressure to keep VT 6ml /kg, down-titrate FiO2 to keep SpO2 91-94%, and decrease the (minimum) Breath Rate to 6 and allow the patient to set their own breathing rate.

That will get most patients through the night.
