Effects of

Mechanical
Ventilation
on Lungs and Heart
On Lungs:
Allows you to fully automate stale air removal and fresh air intake,
delivering continuous indoor air purification and greater energy
efficiency.
 Benefits On Heart:

MV can reduce ventricular preload and afterload,

decrease extra-vascular lung water, and decrease
the work of breathing in heart failure
Risks of Mechanical
Ventilation:
• Infection, as the artificial airway (breathing tube) may allow
germs to enter the lung. This risk of infection increases the
longer mechanical ventilation is needed and is highest around
two weeks
• What are long term complications of mechanical ventilation?
• Complications of ventilation
• Mucosal ulceration due to decreased gastric blood flow.
• Sleep disturbance and neuropsychiatric complications thereof.
• Increased sedation requirements and neuropsychiatric
complications thereof.
• Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP)
• Ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI)
Vili?
VILI Causes:

 Barotrauma
 Volutrauma
 Atelectrauma
 Biotrauma
 • This can occur in patients receiving mechanical ventilation
when too much positive pressure is applied. When this
Barotrauma happens, it can damage the structural integrity of the
alveoli leading to serious medical conditions.

OR
Volutrauma
Can cause:
 Pneumothorax
 Pneumomediastinum
 Pneumoperitoneum
 Subcutaneous emphysema
 BronchopIeural fistula

(Summary)
Auto peep
• Auto-positive end expiratory pressure (auto-PEEP) is a physiologic
event that is common to mechanically ventilated patients. Auto-PEEP
is commonly found in acute severe asthma, chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease, or patients receiving inverse ratio ventilation.
Oxygen toxicity:
• Oxygen toxicity is lung damage that happens from breathing in too
much extra (supplemental) oxygen. It's also called oxygen poisoning.
It can cause coughing and trouble breathing. In severe cases it can
even cause death.

Operator error
• A systematic review according to the PRISMA reporting standard was performed to
identify causes of use errors in mechanical ventilators described in the literature.
The PubMed search resulted in the inclusion of 16 papers. The errors described
were systematically analyzed with regard to their causes and categorized in an
adapted cause-and-effect diagram. The causes of use errors were related to
specific usability issues and to the general condition that medical staff often work
with different ventilators. When many devices are used, the different user
interfaces are a source of use errors, since, for example, the same ventilation
modes have different names. In order to avoid the identified causes for use errors
in the future, this work offers manufacturers of ventilation devices design
recommendations and the possibility to include the results in their risk
management. In addition, standardizing user interface content across all
ventilators, as in ISO 19223, can help reduce use errors.
