    Strategy for invasive ventilation delivered in ICU

    There are three key principles for invasive ventilation in ITU:

    1. Calculate the tidal ventilation volume using the patient’s height, predicted body weight and the conversion for 6ml/kg, and monitor the patient for excessive hypercapnia (pH>7.15).
    2. Position the patient to deliver prone ventilation.
    3. Aim for an even fluid balance or a fluid deficit; do not overload the patient with fluids.
