What Factors Influence Inspiratory Time in Pediatrics?
Several factors must be considered when adjusting ti in pediatric patients:
Age and Size: Younger and smaller children typically require shorter inspiratory times. Lung Compliance: Conditions affecting lung compliance, such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) or bronchiolitis, may necessitate adjustments in ti. Underlying Conditions: Chronic lung diseases, congenital heart defects, and other comorbidities can influence the optimal setting of ti.
