To those practicing CCM.
Patient with ARDS secondary to community acquired pneumonia....single organ failure...
on vent for 8 days....getting all modalities for ARDS..
Mean airway pressure in the low to mid 20's
FIO2 70% pO2 65 mmHg
Minute Ventilation about 10 liters /minute to maintain normocarbia
CXR stable in last several days.
Would you be referring the patient for a trach at this point?
