Aspects of monitoring during ventilatory support (P0.1)

  • Chapter
Book cover Applied Physiology in Respiratory Mechanics

Part of the book series: Topics in Anaesthesia and Critical Care ((TIACC))

Abstract

Gas exchange (O2 and CO2) in the lungs is dependent on the respiratory pump to inflate the lungs and on the functioning of the lungs themselves. When the respiratory system is unable to mantain normal work, respiratory failure can develop. The respiratory pump includes the neurological respiratory control mechanism, peripheral nerves, respiratory muscles and chest wall structures. The act of breathing depends entirely on the stimulation of respiratory muscles by the action of the respiratory center, which is composed of several widely scattered neurons located bilaterally in the medulla oblungata and pons. Information from the chemoreceptors sensitive to respiratory gases and from the mechanoreceptors are integrated in the brain stem and spinal cord. It is useful to divide the respiratory control system into a voluntary and automatic. The voluntary system adapts respiration to rapidly changing environmental factors.
