Question

whats the mechanical equivalent of the mechanical ventalation?

descripe in detailes

Answer 1

Modes of mechanical ventilation are one of the most important aspects of the usage of mechanical ventilation. The mode refers to the method of inspiratory support. In general, mode selection is based on clinician familiarity and institutional preferences, since there is a paucity of evidence indicating that the mode affects clinical outcome. The most frequently used forms of volume-limited mechanical ventilation are intermittent mandatory ventilation (IMV) and continuous mandatory ventilation (CMV).^[1] There have been substantial changes in the nomenclature of mechanical ventilation over the years, but more recently it has become standardized by many respirology and pulmonology groups.^[2][3] Writing a mode is most proper in all capital letters with a dash between the control variable and the strategy (i.e. PC-IMV, or VC-MMV etc.)

• Assist-Control Ventilation (ACV) ...
• Synchronized Intermittent-Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) ...
• ACV vs. ...
• Pressure-Controlled Ventilation (PCV) ...
• Pressure Support Ventilation (PSV) ...
• Pressure Controlled Inverse Ratio Ventilation (PCIRV) ...
• Airway Pressure Release Ventilation (APRV) ...
• Pressure Regulated Volume Control (PRVC)
• Mechanical ventilation, or assisted ventilation, is the medical term for artificial ventilation where mechanical means are used to assist or replace spontaneous breathing.
• mechanical ventilator is a machine that helps people breathe when they are not able to breathe enough on their own. The mechanical ventilator is also called a ventilator, respirator, or breathing machine.
• So the goals of mechanical ventilation are simply to provide adequate (not perfect) oxygenation and ventilation, reduce our patient's work of breathing, and to minimize the damage to the lung caused by the ventilator known as ventilator induced lung injury (VILI).
• Without mechanical ventilation to provide fresh air, moisture, odors, and other pollutants can build up inside a home. Mechanical ventilation systems circulate fresh air using ducts and fans, rather than relying on airflow through small holes or cracks in a home's walls, roof, or windows.
