They need assistance from exhalation specialists.

A respiratory therapist usually sets them up and they share the monitoring with a nurse. A doctor will be usually put in the breathing tube but paramedics are trained to intubate patients as well. They can be difficult to manage because patients will “buck” against the machine if they are not sedated. There are may things to watch, pressure, volume, rate, humidity and patient size and distress will shift the parameters
