Complications of Mechanical Ventilation

Respiratory Care Clinics of North America, 2000
Outcomes of critically ill patients are affected by the severity of the acute illnesses and by complications that may result from treatments. This article reviews the major complications associated with mechanical ventilation. Special emphasis is placed on recent advances in the understanding of ventilator-induced lung injury and strategies to avoid ...

Principles of mechanical ventilation

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2002
Mechanical ventilation is an enormous undertaking for a veterinary hospital in general and for any patient in particular. It is a team effort requiring large amounts of space, supplies, labor, and time. It requires committed owners and clinicians who communicate clearly with each other. It also requires a significant financial commitment initially from

Mechanical Ventilation in the Home

Critical Care Clinics, 1990
Despite advances in the application of mechanical ventilation as a short-term, life-saving technique, intensive care units are increasingly faced with patients who cannot be weaned from ventilatory assistance and who require mechanical ventilation as a long-term, life-supporting necessity.

Intermittent Mechanical Ventilation

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1988
More than 150 years have passed since the birth of the idea of intermittent mechanical ventilation. Many types of ventilatory disorders can result in excessive loading of the respiratory muscles, thus causing them to fail. We now have several types of ventilatory assist devices to choose from so that we can select a system that fulfills the physical ...

Opioids and Mechanical Ventilation

Current Drug Targets, 2009
In last years opioids have been increasingly utilized to sedate patients during mechanical ventilation. First, in Hypnotic Based Sedation (HBS), they were added to hypnotics because of their analgesic properties. Successively, in Analgesic Based Sedation (ABS), both sedative and analgesic properties were utilized and opioids were given alone; hypnotics

Home mechanical ventilation

BMJ, 2011
National registries are needed to reduce variations in care and improve patient safety More than 140 000 critically ill patients are admitted to intensive care in England and Wales each year. Delayed weaning (>14 days) and continued dependence on mechanical ventilation occur in 2-5% of these people. The human and financial costs of this dependence are

Mechanical Ventilator Weaning in Prolonged Mechanical Ventilation

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
Abstract Rationale: Prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) via tracheostomy is a common complication of critical illness which affects a growing number of survivors of intensive care unit (ICU) hospitalization. In the USA, patients with prolonged MV are often hospitalized in long-term acute care hospitals (LTACH).

Physiology of Mechanical Ventilation

Critical Care Clinics, 2007
Mechanical ventilation, although essential in taking care of acute lung injury and widely used during surgical procedures worldwide, remains a highly debated field. Clinical trials in the last decade have shown convincingly that mechanical ventilation can result in additional mortality in patients with acute lung injury. This understanding has resulted

Indications for Mechanical Ventilation

International Anesthesiology Clinics, 1997
Indications for mechanical ventilation have evolved substantially since widespread use of ventilatory support began in the early 1960s. While the metabolic and blood-gas alterations that mandate institution of ventilatory support have remained unaltered, new noninvasive modes of ventilation have widened the therapeutic options available to patients in ...
