, 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.
Spontaneous ventilation: 1.5 - 2 times the patient's minute ventilation. Pattern of ventilation during spontaneous ventilation can not be controlled by the anesthesiologist. Spontaneous respiration: The breathing system should be filled with FG before connecting to the patient. When the patient takes an inspiration, the FG from the machine, the reservoir bag and the corrugated tube flow to the patient. During expiration, there is a continuous FGF into the system at the patient end. The expired gas gets continuously mixed with the FG as it flows back into the corrugated tube and the reservoir bag.
