mechanical ventilation is a method to mechanically assist or replace spontaneous breathing. Mechanical ventilation‚is typically used after an invasive intubation‚ a procedure wherein an endotracheal or tracheostomy tube is inserted into the airway. It is used in acute settings such as in the ICU for a short period of time during a serious illness. It may be used at home or in a nursing or rehabilitation institution if patients have chronic illnesses that require long-term ventilation assistance

| Mechanical Ventilation Weaning Protocol | A Gold Standard Nurse-Led Approach in the ICU | | Walden University | | Abstract This paper explores fifteen different medical and academic journals to show the importance of nurse-led Mechanical Weaning (MV) protocol. Based on studies conducted in the United States‚ Taiwan‚ Australia and New Zealand‚ the paper will show that without an effective weaning plan‚ the job of an intensive care unit (ICU) nurse becomes difficult and ineffective

Pneumothorax & Mechanical Ventilation Mechanical ventilation is the use of life-support to perform the work of breathing for patients who are unable to breathe on their own or are critically ill. The First Mechanical Ventilation machine was used in 1938 called the "Iron Lung " which used negative pressure. Positive Mechanical ventilators began to be used in anesthesia and intensive care during the 1950s. The development was confirmed by the need to treat polio patients and the increasing

noninvasive ventilation? If you are a person who googles everything‚ then you will find that noninvasive ventilation (NIV) refers to the administration of ventilatory support without using an invasive artificial airway (endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube). Now if you are a person that likes to look at books to get the answer‚ then David W. Chang wrote in Clinical Application of Mechanical Ventilation that “noninvasive positive pressure ventilation is a technique of providing ventilation without the

Despite the trend in the NICU‚ the use of non-invasive modes of ventilation today on pre term neonates with lung disease are likely to require invasive mechanical ventilation. There have been a lot of studies on advantages and disadvantages on different modes of ventilation and strategies

many methods for the treatment and management of ARDS in pediatrics; positive pressure mechanical ventilation significantly helps to ensure adequate oxygenation with normal or close-to-normal PaCO2 and pH levels. On October 2010‚ an original research study from the National Institutes of Health ARDS Network (ARDSNet) published in CHEST journal was conducted to compare pressure characteristics of mechanical ventilation and their impact on the pediatric population with severe ARDS (from North Shore – Long

Many intensive care unit (ICU) patients with multiple traumatic injuries are susceptible to pulmonary contusion. A pulmonary contusion is an injury to the lung which is a common result after a blunt chest trauma from incidents such as vehicular accidents and assaults or after penetrating chest trauma from explosions or shock waves (Ganie et al‚ 2013). Also‚ although it is more commonly associated with chest traumas such as pneumothorax‚ rib fractures or hemothorax‚ pulmonary contusion is also related

disease as evidenced by PaO2/FiO2 which is equal to or less than 200. Mechanical ventilation can be life saving or necessary with ALI and ARDS. The ventilation and oxygenation goals and strategies are recruitment of the alveoli‚ balancing oxygen delivery and consumption‚ assessment of patient-ventilator synchrony‚ monitoring pulmonary over distension and making sure your protect the lung from ongoing injury. Mechanical ventilation in the setting is to maintain a proper amount of oxygen to the tissues
