  • Title: New modes of mechanical ventilation.
    Author: Weilitz PB.
    Journal: Crit Care Nurs Clin North Am; 1989 Dec; 1(4):689-95. PubMed ID: 2697221.
    Abstract:
    The new modes and techniques of ventilation provide much needed alternative ventilatory support for the critically ill patient. Reduction of airway pressure, improved oxygenation, recruitment of alveoli, and redistribution of ventilation are the major advantages of these new modes. Continued research and clinical application will help develop a mechanical ventilation system that optimizes the patient respiratory status with minimal adverse effects.
