The mode was precisely set for the patient because the patient was able to maintain a good respiratory status. Her ABG results shows that the current setting are appropriate with no ventilation problems, but the oxygenation is little low, for that we can go high on FiO2 or peep. Her mandatory rate is set within normal limits (40 – 60 bpm). Her Pmean is also less than 10 cmH20 which also determine oxygenation. Her spontaneous tidal volume is based on 3.5 ml/kg, which is not a bad effort. Flow trigger and sensitivity settings are appropriate as the patient has no trouble taking a breath in. her set tidal volume is set 6.5 ml/kg according to her weight. It’s a high volume being given, the reason could be to maintain her good ventilation.
