a little less conversation...part 2

this is more for the medical people who read my blog but if you aren't medical and you read this, please don't take offense at "medical humor".

Imagine the tune of Elvis Presley's song "A little less conversation)

A little less fluid a little more ventilation please.
This VQ mismatch is making it hard to breathe.
A little more PEEP and a little less work,
A little less deep a little more support.
Give me drugs and intubate and please ventilate me,
Ventilate me.

A little less fluid a little more ventilation please.
I'm overhydrated and getting puffy.
A little more out and a little less in,
The balance line is very thin.
Catheterize, some furosemide and don't overhydrate me.

Come on, yeah, its hard to breathe now.
Help me out, please, I can't wee now.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Come on, come on.
Don't procrastinate, don't hesitate,
Just ventilate me.
