3.  Mechanics of Breathing - 1 2.avi

Ventilation.avi

5. MEANING
 A mechanical ventilator is a
positive- or negative-pressure
breathing device that can maintain
ventilation and oxygen delivery for
a prolonged period

6. INDICATIONS
 Protection of airway
 Respiratory arrest or rate < 8/min
 Tachypnoea > 35/min
 Inability to tolerate oxygen
mask/CPAP/NIV, e.g.
agitation,confusion
 Removal of secretions
 Hypoxaemia (Pa O2 < 8 kPa (< 60
mmHg); Sp O2 < 90%),despite CPAP
with F iO2 > 0.6

7.  Hypercapnia if conscious level
impaired or risk of raised intracranial
pressure
 Worsening respiratory acidosis
 Vital capacity falling below 1.2 L in
patients with neuromuscular disease
 Removing the work of breathing in
exhausted patients

8. CLINICAL CONDITIONS
 Post-operative
• e.g. After major abdominal or cardiac
surgery

9.  Respiratory failure
 ARDS
 Acute severe asthma
 Pneumonia
 Aspiration
 COPD
 Smoke inhalation, burns

10.  Circulatory failure
 Low cardiac output: cardiogenic
shock
 Following cardiac arrest
Pulmonary oedema

11.  Neurological disease
Coma of any cause
 Status epilepticus
 Drug overdose
Respiratory muscle failure (e.g. Guillain–
Barré syndrome, poliomyelitis, myasthenia
gravis)
 Head injury: to avoid hypoxaemia and
hypercapnia, and reduce intracranial
pressure
 Bulbar abnormalities causing risk of
aspiration (e.g. cerebrovascular accident,
myasthenia gravis)
