Ventilating obese pts in #ICU?
➡️ NIV to prevent/treat ARF + vs re-intubation
➡️ airways: evaluate, pre-oxygenate, choose devices
➡️ careful RM (case-by-case)
➡️ (moderate to high) PEEP vs collapse
➡️ low Vt (PBW!) in non-ARDS/ARDS
➡️ proning (severe ARDS)https://t.co/wKOfrSpjBC pic.twitter.com/pl92CgLHaV— Intens Care Med (@yourICM) October 23, 2020
