Oxygen Therapy and Ventilatory Support
When Joseph Priestley discovered oxygen in 1774, he found that air was a mixture of gases. He called one of these gases “dephlogisticated air,” to which later the chemist Antoine Lavoisier gave the name “oxygen” which made candles burn brighter and longer than ordinary air [1]. Until now, this discovery covers 2 essential features of oxygen which in clinical practice results in the use of oxyge...
متن کاملDiscontinuing mechanical ventilatory support.
The ventilator discontinuation process is a critical component of ICU care. Ongoing ventilator dependency is caused by both disease factors (eg, respiratory, cardiac, metabolic, and neuromuscular) and clinician management factors (eg, failing to recognize discontinuation potential and inappropriate ventilator settings/management). A multispecialty evidence-based task force has recommended a ser...
متن کاملWeaning from ventilatory support.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW In intubated patients, mechanical ventilation offers essential ventilatory support, while the respiratory system recovers from acute respiratory failure. Yet, invasive mechanical ventilation is associated with risks and complications that prolong the duration of mechanical ventilation and increase the risk for death. Therefore, safely weaning the patient from the ventilator as...
متن کاملStrategies for ventilatory support.
Since the introduction of manual positive pressure ventilation during the Copenhagen polio epidemic of 1952, a range of mechanical devices and methods of ventilatory support have been developed to provide life-saving respiratory therapy to critically ill patients. In addition to the development of the equipment hardware to enable effective mechanical ventilation, there has been a gradual realis...
متن کاملRespiratory muscles during ventilatory support.
Knowledge of the fate and behaviour of the respiratory muscles during ventilatory support is important for the guidance of clinical care. Full support facilitates muscle metabolic repletion, but exposes them to the risk of disuse atrophy. The effect of partial support varies according to the selected mode: assisted mechanical ventilation (AMV) and synchronized intermittent mechanical ventilatio...
