Understanding ventilator settings doesn't have to be complicated! Learn about oxygenation (FiO2 & PEEP) and ventilation (Tidal Volume & Respiratory Rate) in this quick explainer.

🫁 Basic Ventilator Settings Tidal Volume = Vt Amount of air breathed in or out during one breath Respiratory Rate = RR How many breaths are taken in one minute PEEP = Positive End-Expiratory Pressure Pressure at the end of expiration to keep the lungs open FiO2 = Fraction of Inspired Oxygen How much oxygen is in the air breathed These basic ventilator settings help you understand vent modes and alarms. It’s a great place to start when learning to care for patients on ventilators! Have you seen
