The ventilator during CPR is not decoration.

It can help you achieve ROSC… or it can sabotage the flow. 🫀⚙️

In cardiac arrest, each insufflation modifies intrathoracic pressure, venous return, and coronary perfusion.

That's why in the operating room it's not enough to "leave it as is."

During CPR, think about:

✅ controlled mode

✅ trigger OFF

✅ low PEEP

✅ moderate tidal volume

✅ low frequency

✅ short inspiratory time

✅ 100% FiO₂

We are not looking to "ventilate beautifully."

We aim to ventilate without destroying hemodynamics.

Comment “Ventilador” and I'll send you the definitive guide to configuring the ventilator during CPR.
