Ventilation Mechanics

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2023
AbstractA fundamental task of the respiratory system is to operate as a mechanical gas pump ensuring that fresh air gets in close contact with the blood circulating through the lung capillaries to achieve O2 and CO2 exchange. To ventilate the lungs, the respiratory muscles provide the pressure required to overcome the viscoelastic mechanical load of ...

Mechanical Ventilation

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2012
The treatment of respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation has advanced significantly over the last 20 years. The goal of therapy in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome should be to optimize oxygenation while minimizing the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury and providing adequate ventilation. Appropriate use of ventilation

Tracheostomy in mechanical ventilation

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2012
Airway access for mechanical ventilation (MV) can be provided either by orotracheal intubation (OTI) or tracheostomy tube. During episodes of acute respiratory failure, patients are commonly ventilated through an orotracheal tube that represents an easy and rapid initial placement of the airway device.
