Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

AARC Guidelines for appropriate subatmospheric pressures:

    Neonates: 60 - 80 mm Hg
    Infants: 80 - 100 mm Hg
    Children: 100 - 120 mm Hg
    Adults: 100 - 150 mm Hg

Negative pressures should not exceed 150 mmHg as higher pressures have been shown to cause trauma, hypoxemia and atelectasis.
