5. Over the next 4 hours, monitor for the development of a life threathening tension
pneumothoraks, by assesing for hipoxia, bradycardia, tachycardia, and moderate to
life threathening hypotension.
Breath Limit
1. Time limited or cycled: Relates to time that inspiratory flow is administered and is
determined by a preset time or percent of cycle that relates to inspiration.Inspiratory
time is increased to deliver a volume controlled or pressure controlled breath over a
longer time of the breath cycle.
2. Pressure Controlled (PC) : The peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) is preset based on
the estimated tidal volume reqiurements.A smaller tidal volume may be given if the
preset pressure is reached too soon, such as in a state of flow compliance or high
airway resistance.
3. Volume Control (VC) : Volume is preset and the pressure is variable in order to
deliver the preset volume.
