➡️ Initial Ventilator Settings
Once it has been determined that mechanical ventilation is indicated for a patient who needs help with oxygenation and/or ventilation, then you must know how to properly input the initial ventilator settings. Keep in mind that each mechanical ventilator machine is different, so be sure to abide by the guidelines provided by the manufacturer of that machine.

🟦 Tidal Volume
The initial tidal volume setting should be 5 – 10 mL/kg of the patient’s ideal body weight (IBW). So if a patient weighs 70 kg, their initial tidal volume setting should be between 350 – 700 mL. Now I realize that many of you guys were probably taught to use 6 – 8 mL/kg as the range for initial tidal volume.

Yes, that one technically is correct as well and it's even more precise. But through my experience, using 5 – 10 mL/kg will still help you come up with the correct answer and it makes the calculation much easier. You can quickly do it in your head. But like I said, it's up to you. Use whichever one you feel more comfortable with.
