Bipap question

Specialties Pediatric

Published

My hospital has frequently been using bipap on all or asthma patients instead of HiFlow O2. What is the highest acceptable setting? My last two patients were 3 and small 7 year old. The setting was 10/5 looked too high a setting. I am nervous this intensivist is going to blow a lung with the pressure being so high. Even RT has questioned the setting. No budging from the dr.
