Mechanical Ventilation Changing the Concept of General Anaesthesia – Review Article Sharma Neeraj* Associate Professor, Department of Anaesthesiology, Divya Jyoti Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Modinagar, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India *Address for correspondence: Neeraj Sharma, Email id: nsharma070777@gmail.com
Online published on 30 April, 2015. Abstract Mechanical ventilation is routinely delivered to patients admitted in intensive care units (ICU) to reduce work of breathing, improve oxygenation, or correct respiratory acidosis. Although traditional modes of mechanical ventilation achieve many of these goals, they have important limitations. Alternative modes are supposed to handle some of these limitations and are now available on modern ventilators. This article reviews general aspects of functioning and limitations of traditional modes of mechanical ventilation, and the potential interest of some new promising modes. Top Keywords Acute respiratory failure, Mechanical ventilation, Ventilator modes, limitations, Respiratory acidosis. Top | |
