Controlled Ventilation: Targets, Hazards and Options

  • Conference paper
Ventilatory Failure

Part of the book series: Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((UICM,volume 15))

Abstract

Controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) is intended to assure adequate gas exchange without incurring adverse effects related to ventilatory support. In recent years, numerous options for controlling ventilation have been proposed, most geared to the objectives of improving oxygenation and minimizing barotrauma. To choose rationally among these alternatives, it is crucial both to identify appropriate therapeutic endpoints for ventilatory support and to avoid iatrogenic misadventures. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the physiologic targets, hazards and options that characterize controlled ventilation of the critically ill patient.
