PY - 2013 T2 - Principles and Practice of Mechanical Ventilation, 3e AB - Clinical evidence highlights the importance of limiting airway pressure during mechanical ventilation. In addition, experimental results suggest the importance of avoiding lung overdistension and cyclic end-expiratory airspace collapse and reexpansion, indicating that both phenomena promote mechanical damage and release of inflammatory mediators.1–3 Unfortunately, interventions that can attenuate the structural insult caused by mechanical ventilation, such as the use of low tidal volume, high positive end-expiratory pressure, and reduced respiratory rate, can limit total minute ventilation.4,5 In this context, transtracheal oxygen therapy and tracheal gas insufflation (TGI) could have a role as adjuncts to mechanical ventilation.6–10 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/09 UR - accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=57068116 ER -
