Ventilator<unk>  modulate the oxygenation achieved. They can be adjusted according to the clinical condition of the patient and to achieve specific goals of management. The<unk>  include fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), tidal volume (Vt), respiratory rate (f), positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), inspiratory time, inspiratory flow rate, peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) and plateau pressure (Pplateau). Tailoring the ventilator settings can help achieve specific goals, for example, to improve oxygenation, option include increasing the FiO2 and PEEP and to improve<unk> , the tidal volume (Vt), inspiratory pressure and respiratory rate (f) may be increased (this follows the basic principle of minute<unk>  = Tidal volume x respiratory rate).
