摘要:
The introduction of mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit environment had the merit of putting a potent life-saving tool in the physicians’ hands in a number of situations; however, like most sophisticated technologies, it can cause severe side effects and eventually increase mortality if improperly applied. Assessment of respiratory mechanics serves as an aid in understanding the patient-ventilator interactions with the aim to obtain a better performance of the existing ventilator modalities. It has also provided a better understanding of patients’ pathophysiology. Thanks to it, new ventilatory strategies and modalities have been developed. Finally, on-line monitoring of respiratory mechanics parameters is going to be more than a future perspective.
