The lung protective ventilation strategy has been dangerously extrapolated to non-ARDS patients these days. Thank you for emphasizing the concept of ventilating a patient as per the physiological or metabolic demands. Reducing minute ventilation and sedating a pt with DKA with high respiratory drive or increasing RR in COPD with increasing CO2 are common errors inviting cardiac arrest in ICU. Thanks for bringing this basic concept regarding alveolar ventilation nicely. Awaiting more such videos.
I have seen patient's condition becoming bad when you initiate mechanical ventilation at a high RR (in patients with severe metabolic acidosis), what is your recommendation regarding the max RR ?

Please do more case studies like this where you go through vent cases piece by piece. So helpful!
Nice session. Some great points. Thank you
Thanks!
Thank you for your support

There should no problem as long as the patient exhales completely before next breath

I do have individual cases in a playlist at this link:
