Handover
Deeply sedated, almost no visible drive, and the vent keeps firing extra breaths. Set RR 16, total 32. There is a pool of water in the expiratory limb. Tiny oscillations on the flow trace.
Uncorrected hypoxemia, auto-PEEP shock, tension, or abdominal compartment progresses to pre-arrest, then a fail. Read the scalars before you turn a knob.
