II.Ventilation pressures less than 25 cm H₂O
III.Postductal pH greater than 7.30
IV.Positive end-expiratory pressure 4-6 cm H₂O
V.Normoxemia
VI.25-30 breaths/minute
VII.I-time 0.3-0.4 seCond

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gentle ventilation aims to maintain adequate ventilation while avoiding barotrauma and volutrauma by limiting the peak inspiratory pressure to maintain PaCO₂ within a narrow range, keeping ventilation pressures less than 25 cm H₂O, applying a positive end-expiratory pressure of 4-6 cm H₂O, and avoiding hypoxemia. The respiratory rate of 25-30 breaths/minute and I-time of 0.3-0.4 seconds are not specific parameters of gentle ventilation. Postductal pH greater than 7.30 is not a parameter of gentle ventilation, but it is a desirable outcome of proper ventilation.
