transport team = RT,RN Doc(optional)
trained personnel
What are the complications that can happen during a transport?
•Precautions and Complication
•Hyperventilation on manual ventilation
•Hypotension
•Loss of PEEP
•Unstable to change in position
•Equipment Failure
•Inaccurate data or loss of monitoring
•Loss of gas source (time to calculate)
What is the normal barometric pressure at sea level?
•PB. @ sea level = 760 mmHh 760 x .21=159mmHg
•PB. @ 5000’ elevation = 640mmHg
640 x .21=134mmHg
As altitude increase Partial Pressure of oxygen decreases
As altitude increases = increase FIO2
