Sandbox — build-a-patient

ATS 2024 · 6 mL/kg · Pplat ≤30 · ΔP ≤14 · SpO₂ 92–96 · PaCO2 ~35–45

Load card puts the starting breath on the box. Connect starts the clock. End whenever you want.

No dispatch. A stable 70 kg-IBW adult on the bench so you can learn the T1 without a clock screaming at you.

Handoff

Do not start in ASV. Height and sex first. Pick PCV+ or (S)CMV+. 6 mL/kg. Rate, PEEP, and Oxygen from the lung and the gas. Draw a gas after each change.

3 objectives
  1. 1

    Set the vent from IBW — 6 mL/kg, you own rate

    PCV+ or (S)CMV+. ASV is for recognizing a send, not for flying this bay.

  2. 2

    Draw a gas after each big change

    Physiology lags. Give it a minute of sim time.

  3. 3

    Feel PCV+ vs (S)CMV+ on the same lung

    Same pressure breath, different who owns VT.
