Points & Pearls Excerpt

  • Pediatric patients have higher resistance due to narrower airways, as well as high chest-wall compliance. A more pliable chest wall results in lower functional residual capacity.
  • Use a cuffed endotracheal tube in all children.
  • Clinicians should use the mode of ventilation that is most familiar to them; the choice should be based on clinician experience, patient pathophysiology, and ventilator availability.
  • Use synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation (SIMV) for patients without spontaneous respiratory effort, and use SIMV with pressure support for patients with spontaneous respiratory effort.
  • Use assist-control ventilation in patients with little to no spontaneous respiratory effort or in those who require complete respiratory support, as the ventilator will assume full work of breathing
