The growing complexity of mechanical ventilators and the proliferation of new ventilator modes may confuse and intimidate clinicians who on occasion must manage a mechanical ventilator. The fundamental indications for and types of mechanical ventilation are reviewed, and guidelines for basic ventilator settings are provided. By understanding and applying these essentials, the clinician can provide effective mechanical ventilation to most patients who require it. A subsequent article published in this journal will review the related topics of patient monitoring during mechanical ventilation, complications of mechanical ventilation, and weaning from mechanical ventilation.
机械通气设备日益复杂,新的通气模式不断涌现,这可能会让那些偶尔需要操作机械通气设备的临床医生感到困惑和畏惧。本文回顾了机械通气的基本适应证和类型,并提供了基本通气设置的指南。通过理解和应用这些要点,临床医生能够为大多数有需求的患者提供有效的机械通气。本刊随后发表的一篇文章将回顾机械通气期间患者监测、机械通气并发症以及机械通气撤机等相关主题。
