Patients on Mechanical Ventilation
Patients on MV have the potential to develop hemodynamic instability. The need for MV is the patient’s common feature requiring admission to the ICU.4 Choosing settings for MV requires balance between oxygen delivery, removal of carbon dioxide, and prevention of respiratory injury related to trauma. Inappropriate and inaccurate ventilatory support strategy can result to increase mortality. Therefore, many ventilatory techniques have been presented in standardizing the selection process of the ventilation settings .
