Mechanical Ventilation
[book]
2014
Oxford Medicine Online
Preserved Fulltext
Patients receive mechanical ventilation for a variety of reasons. The general practitioner should understand the broad categories for initiation of mechanical ventilation as well as be able to determine when a patient can be liberated from a ventilator. The majority of this chapter focuses on the common modes of ventilation, the difference between pressure- and volume-cycled breath delivery and how these different modes are monitored.
