Clinical Pearls

1. Reading with the purpose of answering the seven fundamental clinical questions improves retention of information and facilitates the application of book knowledge to clinical knowledge.

2. When detecting a leak in the breathing circuit, start at the patient and work back toward the machine. Thus, the first step in detecting the location of the leak is to add air to the endotracheal tube’s cuff. If the leak continues, move one step toward the machine, and check the connection of the endotracheal tube, followed by the connection of the end-tidal CO2 tubing, etc.
