Mechanical Ventilation

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2008
Over the past several years, there has been an introduction of numerous modes of mechanical ventilation, each with their own advantages and limitations. This article reviews the common modes of mechanical ventilation, new technologies, and specific ventilator strategies that have been shown to be beneficial.

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.

Mechanical ventilation

Nursing Standard, 1999
In this article Nigel Henderson discusses the nursing role in the mechanical ventilation of patients. He describes the different ventilator modes, and the physical and psychological care required by ventilated patients.

Noninvasive Mechanical Ventilation

Emergency Medicine Clinics of North America, 2022
This article explains the physiologic basis and fundamentals behind the technology of continuous positive airway pressure, bilevel positive airway pressure, and high flow nasal canula. Additionally, it explores some of the core literature behind their clinical applications.

Mechanical Ventilation in ARDS

Critical Care Nursing Quarterly, 2019
Mechanical ventilation is the primary supportive, invasive measure utilized in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome. Throughout the years, many large multicenter randomized controlled trials and observational studies were analyzed to determine what ventilator parameters to use that would produce a mortality benefit after initial diagnosis.

Understanding ventilator-induced lung injury: The role of mechanical power [PDF]

Journal of Critical Care
Mechanical ventilation stands as a life-saving intervention in the management of respiratory failure. However, it carries the risk of ventilator-induced lung injury.

Discontinuation of Mechanical Ventilation

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
The vast majority of patients who undergo mechanical ventilation are able to discontinue ventilatory assistance within a few days. Typically, patients who require only short-term mechanical ventilation do not have severe underlying lung disease, and the problem for which they require ventilatory support is most commonly rapidly reversible.

Progress in mechanical ventilation

Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 2002
Mechanical ventilation is a life-supporting process employed in the management of respiratory failure. Over the years, our understanding of the pathophysiology of lung injury has greatly improved, and has aided the technological development of ventilatory modes that are more patient 'sensitive' and less traumatizing to the lungs.

Mechanical ventilation strategies

Seminars in Fetal and Neonatal Medicine, 2017
Although only a small proportion of full term and late preterm infants require invasive respiratory support, they are not immune from ventilator-associated lung injury. The process of lung damage from mechanical ventilation is multifactorial and cannot be linked to any single variable.
