- Initial Adult Vent Settings:
        - use
PEEP to wean FiO2; - maintain Hb Sat > 90%
        - tidal volume 10-12 ml/kg
        - intermittent mandatory ventilation 10-12 breaths/min;
        - inspired oxygen fraction 0.6
        - positive end expiratory pressure 5 cm H2O
        - pressure limit:
              - this limit should be set at 10 cm H2O higher than the pressure generated by the delivered tidal volume;
              - excessively high pressures should be avoided so as to avoid barotrauma;
        - tube suctioning q 1-2 hrs;
        - humidifer set at 36 deg and 1/2 NS delivered for 10 min/hr



- Pediatric Vent Settings:
                             Normal Lungs             RDS
        - PIP            12-18 cm H2O          20-25 cm H2O
        - PEEP           2- 3 mc H2O              4- 5 cm H2O
        - Frequ        10-20 /  min                   20-40 /  min
        - I/E ratio        1:2 to 1:10                      1:1 to 1:3
