@icuboy: I don’t consider myself a master btw. This doesn’t mean you should mess with the vent willy nilly but it does mean I believe in you to learn. #icu #vent #meded #foamed
100% disagree. The more you learn about ventilation the more you realize how complicated it is. I understand what you're getting at, but hard disagree.

Deeper knowledge will let you read the parameters that get documented over time. With that info you can draw conclusions that are very helpful. For example, if you are trending the pip and plateau over time and know what you are looking at you gain great insight into what is happening with the pts physiology in real time. Obstructions, stiffening of the lung tissue, narrowing of the airway or even the need to change the humidification filter. Reading the waveforms correctly can also separate an average clinician vs a "master". These differences can affect comfort and outcomes.

As an RT the ventilator is complicated if you dont understand it and use it properly. It can harm the pt if not used properly.

As long as you know your patients appropriate ranges, how changing certain things can affect the patient/abg/waveforms, and how to troubleshoot alarms. That’s all it is for the most part.
