[@bettysmith4527]

Thank you for your talk, it was wonderful. I work in EMS and we just added ventilators and BiPAP to our box of tricks. We have had CPAP for a long time, but it is nice to be able to offer something more to the patients who need it!

absolutely fabulous explanation of NIV. Both thumbs up!

[@vamsimosalikanti]

What about ventilator settings in copd pt who is not tolerating niv or bipap?

[@matty00926]

ZEEP is awesome. Allows the patient to fully exhale and also allows for greater comfort since 18/0 is much more comfortable than 22/4 and it's the same pressure support level.

Matthew L depends on the situation. It would be a terrible idea for someone with hypoxemia with an alveolar filling problem.

@@stunnerdoc Definitely agree that it's situational, and that is the sum of what Dr. Mallemat states as well. I just like the fact that there are a vocal few who are willing to state out loud that not everyone needs PEEP. Many docs are afraid to not use PEEP no matter the situation.
