Mechanical Ventilation-Induced Injury

  • Conference paper
Yearbook of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine 1998

Part of the book series: Yearbook of Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((YEARBOOK,volume 1998))

Abstract

Mechanical ventilation is an indispensable supportive intervention in intensive care medicine. However, ventilatory support can have a number of adverse sequelae directly on the lung, and indirectly on distal organs. In this review, we examine the manifestations and proposed pathophysiology of ventilator-induced injury, as well as the rationale behind several ventilatory strategies that have been suggested to minimize or prevent ventilator associated morbidity and mortality.
