Handover
Severe COPD on VC. Set RR 22, I:E nearly 1:1 after someone lengthened Ti “for oxygenation.” Expiratory flow never returns to zero. MAP 64 and falling. EtCO₂ is rising.
Uncorrected hypoxemia, auto-PEEP shock, tension, or abdominal compartment progresses to pre-arrest, then a fail. Read the scalars before you turn a knob.
