Abstract
- Approaches to mechanical ventilation (MV) are consistently changing and the level of ventilator sophistication provides opportunities to improve pulmonary support for critically ill patients. Advanced MV modes are used in the treatment of patients with complex pulmonary conditions. To achieve optimal patient outcomes MV modes that best meet the needs of patient's evolving pulmonary conditions are necessary. It's essential for nurses to integrate pulmonary MV knowledge in the care of critically ill patients. The purpose of this article is to describe the evidence supporting lung protective modes of MV used in the care of critically ill adults.
