, Author of Cannabis Pharmacy. 1  There are several problems with chewing/dipping cannabis. First, cannabis, in its raw herbal form, can host a wide variety of microbes including e coli and salmonella, both of which can present a health risk.
Oxygenation and ventilation: Once the position and seal are obtained, bagging can commence. The rate of ventilation for an adult is 10-12 breaths per minute or, approximately 1 bag squeeze every 5-6 seconds.4 The bag should be depressed for a full 1-2 seconds and then released.
The clinician sets a pressure high, pressure low, and a time ateach level (time high and time low). Ventilation occurs during the releasefrom pressure high to pressure low. The time low is typically 0.2â0.8 sec-onds in restrictive lung disease and 0.8â1.5 seconds in obstructive lung dis-ease. It is probably most prudent to start at 0.8 and titrate to meetindividual patient requirements.
