🗑
Common initial ventilator setting for normal lung are   VT 10-12 mL/kg (can go to 15 for big person), RR 10-12 (can go down to 6-10 if VT is increased for big person), Flow is based on Itime, Itime target 1 second, I:E 1:2 or 1:3, mode VC-SIMV, Peep 3-5, FIO2 40-50% (in doubt use 100%)

Common initial ventilator setting for head injury   same as normal, but may adjust after 24 hours for increased ICP, hyperventilation to target CO2 of 25-30 to reduce ICP (<CO2 will cause vasoconstriction and <blood volume therefore reducing ICP  
🗑
Common initial ventilator setting for Unilateral disease   to prevent ventilation from going only to healthy lung, use Karlan's ETT and add second machine, set one lung to ARDS and good lung to ½ normal settings except RR increase to 12-15 to compensate for smaller VT.

🗑
What is optimal flow   40-80 L/min, set to meet pt inspiratory demand (so spont breaths will have enough flow and pt will not have to work to hard)
