@rtbrainsandbeauty: This is why we TREND our ventilator numbers. 🫁📈 Your patient’s Peak Inspiratory Pressure (PIP) was 27 cmH₂O on your first ventilator check. Now it’s 32 cmH₂O. Don’t just document 32 and move on. Ask yourself: what changed? PIP represents the pressure required during inspiration and is influenced by both airway resistance AND respiratory-system compliance. So when PIP starts rising from your patient’s previous values, that change deserves your attention. Maybe something changed with the airway. Maybe resistance increased. Maybe compliance changed. Maybe something changed with the patient or circuit. That’s where your assessment and troubleshooting come next. #respiratorytherapy #respiratorytherapist #studentrt #rtschool #mechanicalventilation

Blueboy Ray :

If the PIP is at 35, you lower the tidal volume, right? Or is it RR?

An airway resistance problem right? When your pip is going up but plat is staying the same. My instructor mentioned this yesterday!

Thank you I’m a new grad getting use to actually investigating these readings when in the icu I never thought of it this way
