While it is a crucial intervention, prolonged or improper use can lead to adverse effects.
One common issue associated with ventilator use is ventilator-associated lung injury (VALI). VALI encompasses a range
Another concern is ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), a lung infection that occurs in patients who have been
Ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD) refers to the weakening of the diaphragm muscle due to disuse when
Preventive strategies include lung-protective ventilation protocols, minimizing sedation, early mobilization, and strict infection control measures. Careful
Overall, while vital in managing severe respiratory conditions, ventilator-induced complications highlight the importance of careful and
