tidal volume management

Tidal volume management involves controlling the amount of air delivered to a patient’s lungs during mechanical ventilation. The goal is to provide enough air to keep oxygen levels steady while avoiding lung injury caused by over-inflation. This is achieved by setting appropriate volume and pressure on the ventilator based on the patient's size, condition, and lung health. Proper tidal volume management helps ensure effective breathing support, prevents lung damage, and promotes healing. Healthcare providers continuously monitor and adjust these settings to optimize breath support tailored to each patient's needs.
