Identify the core mechanical ventilation equipment and accessories required immediately after successful endotracheal intubation to support pediatric patients of varying sizes

Explain how ventilator modes and mandatory breath types relate to intubation goals, patient physiology, and initial airway management priorities

Apply appropriate initial ventilator setup following intubation by selecting mode, tidal volume or pressure targets, inspiratory time, and oxygen concentration based on patient characteristics

Analyze ventilator settings after intubation to detect potential risks such as inadequate ventilation, air trapping, or excessive airway pressures, and determine necessary adjustments

Evaluate the safety and effectiveness of post‑intubation ventilator configuration to ensure adequate gas exchange while minimizing ventilator‑induced lung injury
