CASE 1: Uncompensated Acid/Base Imbalance An elderly gentleman is in a coma after suffering a severe stroke. He is in the intensive care unit and has been placed on a ventilator by a respiratory therapist in training. Ventilator Settings: Respiration Rate (RR): 10 breaths/min • Tidal Volume (TV): 350 ml/breath After a few hours you check on the patient and find him even more nonresponsive with diminished deep tendon reflexes. Vitals are as follows: RR: 10 breaths/min HR: 110 bpm BP: 135/95 mmHg Weight: 180 lbs Case 1- Question 1: Calculate the Minute Ventilation (MV) of this patient. Is this value normal for a resting individual? (Normal resting MV is 5-6L/min not on a ventilator) How does an individuals anatomical dead space change when they are placed on a ventilator and how does that impact the ventilator settings?
