Reduction
in the ventilation tidal volume for patients not in
|
|
|
cardiovascular
collapse to approximately one half of that
|
|
|
recommended
previously.
|
|
|
| • |
Volume
should approximate 6 to 7 mL/kg
over 1.5 to 2 seconds
|
|
Higher
volumes increase risk of gastric
inflation without
|
|
|
improving
blood oxygenation.
|
|
|

For
clinical guidance, resuscitation
professionals can use the
|
|
|
"chest
rise" sign as a rough
indication of ventilation tidal
|
|
|
volumes
that are in the range of 6 to 7
mL/kg.
|
|
|
| • |
Smaller
tidal volumes, however, raise the risk of inducing both
|
|
|
hypoxia and hypercarbia.
|
|
|
| • |
Provide
supplemental oxygen, adjusted on
the basis of oxygen
|
|
|
saturation
readings.
