Troubleshooting the Ventilator
  1. Is the Patient haemodynamically unstable?
    1. Yes - Disconnect and use BVM - can you BMV?
      1. Yes - Circulation/ventilator problem
        1. Causes of hypotension
          1. Hypovolaemia
            1. Drug Induced (e.g.Sedatives)
              1. Raised intrathoracic pressure from dynamic hyperinflation
                1. Tension Pneumothorax
              2. No -
                1. ETT problem
                  1. Manual Obstruction
                    1. Sputum plugging, kinking of ETT, Positioning of ETT, Patient biting
                      1. Suction ETT and reposition
                    2. Bronchospasm
