Post intubation sedation

We use the Revel vents and have the LTV1200 as a backup unit. They consume less oxygen than the disposable CPAP masks, but some patients still drain a portable tank quick. I doubt a service that is unwilling to invest in disposable CPAP masks will outfit units with ventilators.
 
Ketamine/midazolam/morphine or fentanyl (usually with ketamine). Depends on the patient.
TBI's,CHF will get versed probably, Asthma/COPD/Hypotensive will get ketamine. Some will get both.
