What Is A Low Tidal Volume?

What Is A Low Tidal Volume? Low tidal volume ventilation (LTVV) is one of the interventions specifically designed to prevent ventilator-associated conditions (VAC). For patients without acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), target the recommended tidal volume of 6–8 mL/kg predicted body weight (PBW). What is a good tidal volume? Tidal volume is the volume of

What Is The Significance Of A High Dead Space To Tidal Volume Ratio? An elevated dead-space-to-tidal-volume ratio (VD/VT) has been proposed as a predictor of successful extubation in children. We hypothesized that a higher VD/VT value would be associated with extubation failure and higher postextubation respiratory support. What is the normal dead space to tidal
