Overview
Mechanical ventilation
Mechanical ventilation aims to correct abnormalities in oxygenation of the blood and tissues, reduce the respiratory effort and prevent dynamic hyperinflation.
Indications
- Life threatening respiratory failure:[1][2][3]
- Severe respiratory failure with failure of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in addition to rapid, shallow breathing, cardiopulmonary arrest, and severe hemodynamic compromise.
- Failure of noninvasive ventilation:
- Indications of failed NIV include:
- A lack of improvement in arterial carbon dioxide tension (PaCO2) and pH within 1.5 - 2 hours
- Encephalopathy
- Agitation
- Unclearable secretions
- Intolerable mask interface
- Decreased oxygen saturation
- Hemodynamic instability
- Indications of failed NIV include:
- Arterial blood gas abnormalities
- Incorrectable hypoxemia despite oxygen supplementation
- Severe respiratory acidosis unresponsive to therapy and/or NIV
Endotracheal intubation
- Endotracheal intubation acts as the connection between the ventilator and the patient.
- Intubation can be performed endotracheally or through a tracheostomy.
- The tube must be placed correctly, and this is confirmed through:
- Chest x-ray
- Chest auscultation
- Carbon dioxide detector
- Proper cuff pressure must be maintained and not exceed 25mmHg
- The airways should be suctioned to ensure patency of the airway:
- Suctioning may occur through an open or closed circuit suction catheter.
- Routine suctioning is not recommended as this may lead to complications such as:
- Desaturation
- Arrhythmias
- Bronchospasm
- Cough
- Entry of secretions into the lower respiratory tract
- The endotracheal tube insertion depth varies by gender and is measured from the lower incisors:
- In males: 23cm
- In females: 21cm
- The tube is affixed in place using tape to prevent accidental extubation or further downward movement toward the main bronchus.
