Ventilator management
Neuromuscular
Steroids
blockers
- Low TV of 6 mL/kg
- Prevent hyperinflation and barotrauma
- Higher PEEP values of 12 cm H2O
- Limit atelectasis
- In ARDS higher values showed mortality benefit
- RR ≤ 35
- Oxygen saturation of 88 - 95%
Ketamine
- Opioids are 1st line for
Precedex, Adjunctive analgesia
propofol, +/- agents - If appropriate, minimal
midazolam sedation and interaction to
reduce delirium is
Sedatives recommended
Fentanyl or
- Awakening and breathing
dilaudid trials
- Sedation target should be
Opioid reassessed at least twice daily
pushes or
infusion
Chanques G, et al. Intensive Care Med. 2020 Dec;46(12):2342-2356.
Sedation Spectrum
Moderate -2 to -3 Propofol
Deep -4 to -5 Midazolam
- Pathogenesis:
1) Cytotoxicity: reactive oxygen species and cytokines that
directly injure pneumocytes and the endothelium
2) Immune-mediated injury: hypersensitivity reaction to the
chemotherapy
3) Opportunistic infections: immunosuppression

therapy
- Antimetabolite
- Inhibit the formation of nucleotides and therefore DNA
Transition to
BiPAP
Respiratory Support Course
Ventilator settings:
- TV: 450 mL (5 mL/kg)
- PEEP: 10-12 cm H2O

Pain and Sedation Management
Midazolam: 6 - 10 mg/hr
