Abstract

Mechanical ventilation is often required for infants and children with cardiovascular disorders. This chapter briefly reviews the physiology of lung inflation and deflation with tidal breathing, the principles involved with the practice of conventional ventilation, the design and functional characteristics of conventional ventilators, the theory and practice of respiratory care, and special forms of artificial respiration.
