Pediatric Ventilation
                        =====================

For kids under 20 kg., more volume is used in distending the tubing than
actually ventilating the patient, so use a pressure-cycled ventilator; set at
25 to start.  Set rate as follows:

Neonate:        40-50
3-6 months:     30-40
6-12 months:    25-30
1-2 years:      20-25

(adjust inspiratory flow so the pressure of 25 will be reached often enough to
achieve the desired rate; start with an initial flow rate of 8-15 L/min)

Titrate to minute ventilation

Pressures over 40 are likely to cause barotrauma.
