Hyperventilation – when respiratory rate increases, the pulmonary component of IWL increases proportionately. Thus, if RR is 40-50/min, IWL is increased by 15-25 cc/100 Cal/day to a total of 60-75 cc/100 Cal/day. Mechanical ventilators – The humidified gases provided by ventilators and hoods greatly decrease pulmonary water loss. ................
