If necessary, slowly increase flow to obtain higher minute

11 Make sure the chest is able to make excursions upwards and
downwards. Adjust inspiration and expiration times based on
closely observation of the chest excursions of the patient.
Ensure inspiration and expiration volumes are in balance. In case
of any doubt regarding lung pressure, use the equilibration position,
as shown in Figure 2, for at least 5 seconds.
12 In case of an (almost) completely obstructed airway, use the
equilibrium position of Ventrain

negative pressure in the lungs.
