compensation IN ADDITION to the AG metabolic acidosis.
Both of those would result in a high bicarb to begin with, and a smaller change in bicarb from
normal.

If compensation is adequate in acid/base issues
How AG changes with albumin changes - (answer)Decreases 2.5-3 for every 1 decrease in
albumin
Hemodynamic changes after intubation - (answer)Hypo/hypertension

Goal tidal volume - (answer)10 cc/kg
Goal FiO2 on vent - (answer)Start at 1.0, then decrease as SpO2 tolerates (goal of 92-94

AutoPEEP (what it is, what it causes, how to fix it) - (answer)Breath stacking
Decreases preload to the heart with positive pressure on the lungs --> hypotension
Decrease RR, decrease inspiration time (goal is to have more time for the lungs to exhale)
Danger of increased PEEP - (answer)Increases autoPEEP, increases Pplat
PaO2 we're usually happy with - (answer)>60
When to consider NPPV vs invasive - (answer)When it's a quickly solved problem in 1-2 days
(e.g. COPD exacerbation)
When the patient can be compliant with working with NPPV
