HI numbers

Post by RN Ricky » Fri Jul 02, 2010 7:29 pm

My Hi numbers have been going up too high. They are 5 to 5.7 when they have been running 0.3 to 1.9. Any suggestions? The AI's are 0 to 0.1 Thanks

If AI is low, and you feel OK, don't worry about HI too much on that machine. But you might see if less EPR, or no EPR, helps. Or possibly, slightly higher pressure. The main thing is AI and how you feel.
