Physiotherapists play such an essential role in the care of the patient within the Intensive Care Unit. On today's episode, I speak with Samantha Hagan. Sam was one of the first physio's I worked with as I started as a new grad nurse within ICU. Over those first few months I learnt an incredible amount from Sam. From the specific recruitment manoeuvres; to detailed chest auscultation; Chest X-Ray interpretation; and overall, the role of the physio within ICU. Sam does a great job in outlining the role of the physiotherapist within ICU; details the rationale of specific manoeuvres including Manual Hyperinflation, and Vibes; details the equipment used; and outlines strategies for how Nurses and Physio's can best work together.

<p>Now that we've gone over the Modes & Settings, let's start talking about some of the most common alarms, what they mean, and what we could do about them as registered nurses.<br> <br> There is one alarm in particular, Peak Pressure (High Airway Pressures), that has the potential to lead to an airway emergency. I outline a systematic approach to assess the situation; how to escalate, and how to overcome. <br> <br> The key messages are: <br> - If you're ever unsure: Ask<br> - If the ventilator continues to peak pressuring, the patient is not ventilating during that time<br> - If in doubt, call for back up, and hand bag the patient using the Bag Valve Mask attached to Oxygen 15L/min. </p>

Now you might notice, due to turning down the level of sedation, the patient may start to take a few more spontaneous breaths on their own. This is where Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV), another type of mode, comes into it. In today's episode, I detail the setting of Pressure Support; and mention at what stage we may switch the patient from a 'Rate' (ie SIMV) to PSV; and highlight a few key things for nurses to keep an eye on when doing so.
