Patient with a chest tube

Hello everyone,

I would like to share this ventlator graphic with you

What is going on?

What is the best mode for this case?

Do you think SBT is possible?

Thanks for sharing this ventilation graph. The is PRVC mode. It is noted that patient on mandatory RR 12/ min with 430 ml VTi and I: E ratio 1:2.0 but patient is tachycapnoec, RR 30/ min, it is reversed 1.9: 1 ratio, compromised expiration time, and dynamic compliance 15.9*

I believe that patient in volume trapping?

I will recommend to put him either ASV or AMV mode ( Adapted Support ventilation) according to ventilation options available. Either put him on spontaneous mode before proceeding SBT.

Either it is double triggering ?

Hopefully I will get a passing score.😀

So the plateau pressure is high indicating low compliance that you see in all listed conditions except bronchospasm
