recommended?
Stop chest compression; continue to manually ventilate; transfer the infant to the NICU -
Answers-Five minutes later, the infants color has significantly improved. The heart rate
, is now 136/minute. No detectable spontaneous respirations are observed. Which of the
following should be recommended?

clinical simulation 3
A respiratory therapist assigned to the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) will be
managing the ventilator care of a coronary artery bypass (CABG) patient who will be
admitted to the unit after surgery.
When the patient arrives in the unit, the anesthesiologist states that the patients PaO2
normalizes with an FIO2 of 0.40. The patient is 178 cm (5ft, 10 in) tall and weighs 83 kg
(183lbs). Which of the following initial ventilator settings should be recommended?
