Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The principal benefits of mechanical ventilation during respiratory failure are improved gas exchange and decreased work of breathing. (1) We present a case of severe postoperative hypercarbia in a patient with severe obstructive pulmonary disease. In spite of maximal ventilation, bronchodilator therapy, sedation and paralysis, the patient continued to demonstrate progressive hypercarbia and respiratory acidosis. Mistaken use of non-partitioned ventilator tubing was the cause and the routine ventilator Short Self Test (SST) recommended by the manufacturer failed to detect the error. |
