Start PHigh at PPlat if on volume control or peak<unk>  if on<unk>  control, try not to go beyond 35 cmH2O
PPlateau = desired Pmean + 3 cmH2O
PLow at 0 cmH2O for maximal expiration
THigh at 4.5-6 seconds (inspiratory time)
Tlow at 0.5-0.8 seconds (expiratory time), with TV 4-6 cc/kg
Automatic tube compensation ON if patient spontaneously breathing
Wean by "dropping and stretching"
Every two hours or as tolerated, decrease PHigh by 1-2 cmH2O and increasing THigh by 0.5 seconds per 1 cmH2O drop in PHigh
Monitor for drop in SpO2, increased work of breathing, tachypnea
Once PHigh reaches 10 cmH2O and THigh reaches 12-15 seconds with spontaneous respirations, change mode to CPAP with PEEP 10 cmH2O and PS 5-10 cmH2O, turn ATC off
