Part 4
Junior Doctor’s Guide to Intensive Care (ITU/ICU)-
I:E ratio, respiratory rate, gas trapping and Flow-time graphs

This is a guide for Junior Doctors starting on ITU. We go through how to set the respiratory rate on a ventilator and considerations about I:E ratios. This is fundamental to adequate ventilation of patients.

This is the fourth part of a series on ventilation for beginners. Please watch the first 3 videos as this is building on the concepts introduced in those videos.
