A simple question: is there any research showing that hyperventilation is good

or bad once the patient is intubated(no trauma involved)in the hospital setting.

I am a paramedic moonlighting as an ER tech I see time and time again the

respiratory techs will hyperventile the patient before the patient is placed on

a vent with a rate of no more than 20. They do not use capnography only a pulse

ox to monitor the sats. What are your thoughts?
