MECHANICAL VENTILATION

Abstract

Mechanical ventilation is regularly carried out in a hospital to minimize breathing work, improve oxygenation or correct respiratory acidosis. Air conditioning is also available. While many of these objectives are accomplished by conventional mechanical ventilation techniques, they have major shortcomings. Any of these drawbacks can be discussed in other modes which are now usable on new fans. This essay explores general aspects of the functioning, weaknesses and future interests of conventional mechanical ventilation systems in some exciting modern modes.
