Metrics Details

Book Chapter Description

Mechanical ventilation is a life-sustaining measure to support alveolar ventilation and gas exchange. Ventilatory support is initiated based on clinical signs and symptoms and used to lengthen the time for management of the physiologic effects of respiratory failure and/or shock. Understanding trigger, target, and cycle phase variables can help direct the selection of an appropriate ventilator mode. Basic ventilator settings including tidal volume, respiratory rate, fractional concentration of inspired oxygen, positive end-expiratory pressure, inspiratory flow, and trigger sensitivity are discussed below in detail.
