O2
- PaO2 - wean O2 for a goal PaO2 >60 mmHg
- FiO2 - wean to < 50% if possible while maintaining adequate PaO2
- PEEP - refer to ARDSnet protocol to avoid barotrauma
paCO2
- Mainly affected by Tidal volume and RR
- VE = minute ventilation (RR x TV)
pH
- For every increase or decrease in PaCO2, pH changes accordingly by 0.008
- For every increase or decrease in HCO3 pH changes accordingly by 0.015
