Understanding mechanical ventilators

Expert Review of Respiratory Medicine, 2010
The respiratory care academic community has not yet adopted a standardized system for classifying and describing modes of ventilation. As a result, there is enough confusion that patient care, clinician education and even ventilator sales are all put at risk.

Pulmonary mechanics during mechanical ventilation

Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology, 2012
The use of mechanical ventilation has become widespread in the management of hypoxic respiratory failure. Investigations of pulmonary mechanics in this clinical scenario have demonstrated that there are significant differences in compliance, resistance and gas flow when compared with normal subjects.

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 ...

Ventilation/Perfusion Changes During Mechanical Ventilation

Diseases of the Chest, 1969
Changes in arterial blood gases occurring during mechanical ventilation of a patient with extensive pulmonary disease have been presented. The Pa o2 and A-aDO 2 values observed in this patient demonstrate that various areas of V ˙ A / Q ˙ imbalance exist simultaneously in the diseased lung.

Mechanical ventilation

Nursing
Abstract: Mechanical ventilation is rarely a simple matter. Skill and knowledge are required to operate the ventilator modes, choose the optimal settings, and understand many monitored variables. Supporting the patient safely and effectively is the top priority in providing mechanical ventilation. This article discusses mechanical ventilation

Nonconventional Mechanical Ventilation

2011
Improvement in pediatric critical care has resulted in a population of patients surviving illnesses that previously were fatal. Mechanical ventilation is one of the major supportive therapeutic modalities used in pediatric critical care that has resulted in these improved outcomes.
