Confident Care Academy on Instagram: "Protective lung ventilation for patients with obstructive lung disease include: -Low tidal volumes (6-8mL/kg IBW) -Prolonged expiratory time -Cautious use of PEEP (5-8cm H2O) -Careful monitoring of airway pressures. When possible, understanding the patient’s baseline pCO2 and comparing it with their end-tidal CO2 can help guide ventilation strategies and target ETCO2 goals. #anesthesia #crna #criticalcarenurse #icunurse #nursingstudent"
