Differenzierte Beatmungstechniken für Atemunterstützung und Weaning - Lungenfunktion bestmöglich ersetzen, beatmungsassoziierte Schäden minimieren

Abstract

Pulmonary failure can be caused by primary lung injury as well as secondary due to a systemic inflammation or ventilator-associated lung injury. Beside the causal treatment situational therapy-approaches are used to minimize the risk for ventilator-associated traumata. Lung-protective ventilation with a low tidal volume as well as high ventilator frequency and high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can be used. Noninvasive ventilation is limited in septic pulmonary failure. A ventilator-associated pneumonia should be treated immediately by an adequate antibiotic therapy.
