Case 09 — Persistent dyspnea on AC

Handover

COPD on PEEP 5. You can see small negative deflections in expiration that never become a breath. He looks like he is working. Expiratory flow does not reach baseline before the next cycle.

Uncorrected hypoxemia, auto-PEEP shock, tension, or abdominal compartment progresses to pre-arrest, then a fail. Read the scalars before you turn a knob.

Goals

  • · Expiratory hold done
  • · Ineffective efforts resolved
