Indications for Use
The indications of the mechanical ventilation is as follows:[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
- The three most common indications for mechanical ventilation:
- Inadequate oxygenation
- Inadequate ventilation
- Inability to protect the airway
Other indications for mechanical ventilation include the following:
- Bradypnea
- Tachypnea (>30 breaths/minute)
- Apnea with respiratory arrest including cases from intoxication
- Acute respiratory distress syndrome
- Vital capacity less than 15 ml/kg
- Minute ventilation greater than 10 Lts/min
- Reduced respiratory drive
- Abnormalities of the chest wall
- Respiratory muscle fatigue
- Intrapulmonary shunt
- V/Q mismatch (ventilation-perfusion)
- Decreased Functional Residual Capacity
- Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) with a supplemental fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) of less than 55 mm Hg
- Alveolar-arterial gradient of oxygen tension (A-a DO2) with 100% oxygenation of greater than 450 mm Hg
- Coma
- Hypotension due to sepsis, shock, CHF
- Acute partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) greater than 50 mm Hg with an arterial pH less than 7.25
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Acute respiratory acidosis with
- Partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) > 50 mmHg
- pH < 7.25, which may be due to paralysis of the diaphragm due to
- Guillain-Barré syndrome
- Myasthenia Gravis
- spinal cord injury
- The effect of anaesthetic and muscle relaxants
- Increased work of breathing as evidenced by significant tachypnea, retractions, and other physical signs of respiratory distress
- Hypoxemia with arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) with supplemental fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) < 55 mm Hg
- Neuromuscular disease
