How to Use This Calculator

Enter the patient's weight in kg and height in cm.
Select patient sex to compute predicted body weight for lung-protective ventilation.
Choose ventilator mode (e.g., volume control, pressure control).
Review the suggested tidal volume (6 mL/kg PBW), respiratory rate, and PEEP.
Adjust settings based on arterial blood gas results and clinical response — physician oversight required.

How the result changes with Height (cm)

Patient Weight (kg): Actual body weight. Ideal body weight is calculated from height.
Height (cm): Patient height used to calculate ideal body weight for tidal volume.
Gender: 1 = male, 2 = female. Affects ideal body weight calculation.
Ventilation Mode: 1 = volume control, 2 = pressure control, 3 = SIMV.
