Difference in AG from normal - Difference in HCO3

In AG metabolic acidosis it's used. It tells you if
Delta gap (formula, when
there's underlying metabolic alkalosis or respiratory
and why it's used)
acidosis with bicarb compensation IN ADDITION to
the AG metabolic acidosis. Both of those would
result in a high bicarb to begin with, and a smaller
change in bicarb from normal.
Winter's formula 1.5[HCO3] + 8 +/- 2

3 types of vent cycles Time (constant pressure of time)
Flow (constant pressure until inspiratory flow is
below 25% of peak)
Goal tidal volume 10 cc/kg

AutoPEEP (what it is, what
pressure on the lungs --> hypotension
it causes, how to fix it)
Decrease RR, decrease inspiration time (goal is to
have more time for the lungs to exhale)
Danger of increased Increases autoPEEP, increases Pplat

When it's a quickly solved problem in 1-2 days (e.g.
When to consider NPPV COPD exacerbation)
