Thanks for coming back after 4 years of silence to correct this egregious error made 18 months ago.
Well now that the thread has been resurrected, I'd like to offer another 'PANGOS' correction. Neonates technically don't have a decreased FRC, they desat so quickly due to a much higher minute ventilation to FRC ratio.
