⁉️Check for causes:
✔️Increased airway resistance- if so give bronchodilators
✔️Anxiety--> increased RR + muscle tension--> increased airway resistance --> increased demand: Optimise sedation
✔️Check for leaks in circuit and correct
✔️If flow rate seems too low: Set higher inspiratory flow rate or reduce inspiratory time especially if patient is showing tachypnea
✔️If Tidal volume or RR set too low: Increase it
๐ตDouble triggering or breath stacking can happen if inspiratory time set is lower compared to that of the patient and ventilatory demand is high: Try increasing the inspiratory time or change to pressure control modes
