Mechanical Ventilation

A mechanical ventilator is a machine that generates a controlled flow of gas into a patient’s airways. Oxygen and air are received from cylinders or wall outlets, the gas is pressure reduced and blended according to the prescribed inspired oxygen tension (FiO2), accumulated in a receptacle within the machine, and delivered to the patient using one of many available modes of ventilation.

The central premise of positive pressure ventilation is that gas flows along a pressure gradient between the upper airway and the alveoli. The magnitude, rate and duration of flow are determined by the operator. Flow is either volume targeted and pressure variable, or pressure limited and volume variable. The pattern of flow may be either sinusoidal (which is normal), decelerating or constant. Flow is controlled by an array of sensors and microprocessors. Conventionally, inspiration is active and expiration is passive (although modern ventilators have active exhalation valves).

Respiratory System Flashcards

The Respiratory System Flash Cards product uses the time tested content and images from BryanEdwards and displays the necessary images to demonstrate the respiratory system. This PDA version contains 80 pages that starts examining through the air passages, then down the throat and through the lungs. Substantial text content detailing each image, and a quiz (?) section has been added to aid as a learning tool.


Whether an attending physician using this product to demonstrate anatomical terms to a patient, a medical, dental or nursing student, or undergraduate anatomy student; this product will exceed your expectations and needs.
