There are two protocols –
Ventilation mode is up to you. Most patients are either SIMV-VC, CPAP-PS or ASV.
Tend to tracheostomy early using FOB. Rarely need to be done in theatre.
- “Care of the Adult Invasively Ventilated Patient” protocol which includes VAP prevention, SUP, VTE, etc
- Assessment of Pain, Delirium and Sedation of Intubated Patients in Intensive Care” which stipulates a RAAS aim or 0 to -2 (unless otherwise ordered) and authorises the nurses to give sedation breaks when patient oversedated.
