Ventilator Mode Map vs Rapid Vent Calculator

This app is designed to implement the taxonomy (classification system) for modes of mechanical ventilation described by Chatburn et al (Respir Care 2014;59(11):1747-1763). It has manufacturer, model, and ventilator image for most of the ventilators used across the world.

Rapid Vent Calculator is a clinician-focused field guide and reference tool for adult ventilator setting calculations, RSI medication dosing, and quick respiratory care references. Designed for paramedics, EMS clinicians, respiratory therapists, nurses, physicians, transport teams, ER teams, ICU clinicians, and hospital-based critical care providers, Rapid Vent Calculator helps organize common ventilator and airway calculations into a fast, practical workflow. Enter patient sex, height, weight, selected mL/kg, and metabolic acidosis status to generate adult starting-point ventilator values including respiratory rate, tidal volume, and minute ventilation. Calculations use ideal body weight and lung-protective ventilation principles for adult ventilator management. Rapid Vent Calculator also includes RSI medication dosing estimates, normal ventilator values, ABG/VBG blood gas reference charts, RASS reference guidance, dark and light mode, recent session resume, and shareable result snapshots. Whether used by EMS in the field, paramedics during transport, nurses and respiratory therapists in the ER, physicians in the hospital, or ICU clinicians managing ventilators, Rapid Vent Calculator is built to keep key adult ventilation references organized and easy to access. Key features: • Adult ventilator setting calculator • Ideal body weight-based tidal volume estimates • Lung-protective mL/kg selector • Respiratory rate, tidal volume, and minute ventilation results • Metabolic acidosis ventilation mode • RSI medication dosing estimates • Normal ventilator values reference • ABG/VBG blood gas reference charts • RASS reference guide • Shareable results snapshot • Dark and light mode • Clinician-focused workflow for EMS, transport, ER, ICU, hospital, and respiratory care use Rapid Vent Calculator is intended as a clinical reference and calculation aid for licensed healthcare professionals caring for adult patients. It is not a protocol, diagnosis tool, treatment directive, or substitute for clinical judgment. All values are starting-point estimates and must be verified against the patient’s condition, local protocols, institutional policy, and clinician scope of practice.
